The Holton Recorder
Jackson County
Thursday
February 15, 1923

Wm. GROVE was born December 5, 1831, at Allerbuettel, Germany. At this place he
was also baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran church, to which he remained
faithful unto death. He was married to Dorothea SELGE on September 30, 1866, at
Sielfelt, Germany. Immediately after marriage they departed from their land of
birth and landed at New York in October. Their first home here in America was in
Niagara Falls, N.Y. After two years' stay at this place, they removed to
Chicago, whence, after a year, they came to Kansas City. Having resided at this
place for six months, they purchased a farm near Netawaka, on which their home
was made in 1870. Having been on this farm for 36 years they came to Netawaka
and lived here to the end of their earthly pilgrimage.
God blessed them with four children, two of which, namely, Dora and William,
passed away in early infancy. Mrs. Dorothea GROVE preceded her husband to
eternity on April 24, 1921, having finished her course at the age of 75 years, 3
months and 9 days.
Wm. Grove was blessed wtih exceptionally good health, having been ill but
exceedingly little during his long sojourn on earth. During the last year,
however, his vitality and strength were signally ebbing out, and on February 11,
at about 11 o'clock p.m., it pleased the Lord to take him to the Heavenly
Kingdom. Thus he reached the high age of 91 years, 2 months, and 6 days.
He leaves to mourn his departure his two sons, Henry and Otto, and their
families of Netawaka, other relatives and a large number of friends.
H.F. Krohn was in charge of the funeral services, which were conducted on
Wednesday, February 14, with a brief service at the home at 1:30, and at 2 p.m.,
services in both languages in the Lutheran church. A quartet led by Mr. Aug.
KREIBEL, Herm. LENTZSCH, Miss Erna GERHARDT, and Mrs. KROHN, rendered
appropriate numbers. A large concourse of friends and relatives attended the
obsequies. Interment was made in the Netawaka cemetery.
