CHAPTER VI -- PIONEERS (CONT'D)

GROVE.

Abel Galland and his son William were the earliest settlers of Grove township. In his reference to the first pioneer settlement of Shelby county at Galland’s Grove the author has set forth the names of many of the earliest settlers. It is exceedingly difficult to secure them all, since the population shifted then as now, very, very rapidly. One might add, however, the following names to the lists given in articles elsewhere herein: John B. Hunt, Michael Doyle, William Kleeb, W. J. Tingle, Edwin Joice, J. Hinkle, William McGarvey, F. J. McNaughton, George B. Thompson, W. Wheelen, Thomas O’Day, Michael O’Day, John Hawley, M. White, C. D. Kent, Patrick Tierney, Thomas Brady, S. M. Ballard, William Major, John Rounds, and others.
