D. B. GROVE, M. D., is a son of Jacob and Louisa C. (Shriver) Grove.  His 
grandfather, George Grove, was a wagon-maker in Hanover.  His maternal 
grandfather, Henry Shriver, resided in Littlestown, Adams County.  Dr. Grove was 
born in Hanover May 29, 1860, and was educated in the public and private schools 
of his native town.  He then entered a drug store in Baltimore as a clerk, but 
on account of declining health, for the time, retired from that position and 
returned to his home.  After recuperating his health his attention was directed 
to homœpathy.  Being a thorough convert to that mode of medical treatment he 
began to study medicine, and in 1881 entered the Homœpathic Medical College of 
New York City, and was graduated in 1883.  While in that institution he was 
elected guiz-master in medical jurisprudence, an honor conferred upon him by his 
fellow students.  He joined the American Society of Homœpathy in 1884, and 
attended its sessions that year at Deer Park, Md.  In 1885 he was elected 
surgeon of the Hanover Junction, Hanover & Gettysburg and Hanover & Baltimore 
Railroads.  Dr. Grove is devotedly attached to the practice of medicine, and as 
a result thereof soon secured a lucrative business.
