Vern Grove was born in Newton Falls, Ohio, March 25, 1871, and passed to the life beyond from his home in Lyons November 4, 1920, aged 49 years, 7 months and 9 days. When he was about two years his parents came to Lebanon township, Clinton county, Michigan, where he spent a large part of his life. June 24, 1914, he was married to Miss Esther Gleason of Hillsdale county, who survives him, together with one brother, Dana Grove of Lebanon, and one sister, Mrs. Alma Harris of St. Johns, besides a host of friends and relatives. Mr. Grove had been in poor health for many years and his serious illness proved too severe for his failing strength. He bore his suffering with remarkable courage and patience. He was a man who lived his life just as near right as he knew how. A man of exemplary habits, refined in his manner; a lover of art and music, decidedly against all that was coarse and low. As you saw him one day, you would find him every day. Thus a beautiful life has gone to its reward. Funeral services were held from the late home Sunday, Nov. 7, being conducted by Rev. E.W. Sprague of Detroit. Relatives present from away were Mrs. C.F. Gillman and children, W.P. Grove and family, Roy Grove and family of Grand Rapids; Mrs. F.D. Bond of Detroit; Mrs. Minnie Snyder of Carson City; Will Harris and family of St. Johns; B.E. Gleason and family of Saginaw; Don Gleason and wife of Albion; Fay Holdredge and wife and Clare Gleason of Reading; H. Tinkham and wife of Grand Ledge; O.N. Russell and Mrs. T. West of Lansing.
