Grove passed to spirit life from her late home in Lebanon township Wednesday evening, November 19, 1919, aged 79 years, 6 months and 18 days. She was born May 1, 1843, in Newton Falls, Trumbull county, Ohio, being the last surviving member of a family of fourteen children. September 3, 1868, she was married to Jonathan Grove and in 1872 came with him to his Michigan home where she continued to live until the time of her passing. Mr. Grove preceded her to the land beyond October 2, 1918. Mrs. Grove was the mother of four children: Rollin Elwood, who died in infancy; V. Vern, of Lyons; Dana C., at home and Mrs. Alma Harris, who has lived near the old home to help care for her mother. Four grandchildren, Elwood and Bernard Harris, Lynn and Irving Grove, are left to cherish her sweet memory. No words can portray the beautiful character of this dear woman. Her life stands out as a great example of all that is good, pure and true. Her affection for her children and that which they gave in return was beautiful. Her friends and neighbors all give testimony of her wonderful love and kindness, and she passed away firm in the faith of life after death. Funeral services were held from the late home Saturday, November 22, at 10:30, Mrs. Marion Carpenter of Detroit officiating. Interment was made in East Plains cemetery.
