W. W. GROVES

W. W. GROVES, farmer, Section 22, Post Office Goffs [KS], was born in 1833, in New Lyme, Ashtabula County, Ohio, and married Josie CHANDLER, of Orwell, Ohio, in March, 1854. They then removed to Louisa County, Iowa, and after a few year's residence in that State, returned to Ohio, and from there to Goodhue County, Minn. The ill health of Mrs. GROVES caused their settlement in Kansas in the fall of 1869. Mr. GROVES has done good work here, transforming a raw prairie farm into a tillable and productive one. Built a good farmhouse and planted a grove of forest timber, also an orchard of 250 apple and 300 peach trees. He is a carpenter by trade, and has always followed it. Mr. and Mrs. GROVES have four children W. J. GROVES, Theresa and Terissa, twins, and Mary A. Samuel GROVES died at the age of fourteen, and another pair of twins died in Ringgold County, Iowa. Mrs. and Miss GROVES are Methodists, and Mr. GROVES is a Baptist.
