There are no towns in Grove township. The Grove
Cemetery
is in section 21. This
is sometimes called the Blue Grove Cemetery.
There are burials in the very southwest corner
of section
26. I contacted Mrs Paul Winslow in 1969 and
she told me that the family had
handed down the knowledge that their great
great grandfather Rufus Winslow was buried
there. She also
thought that Elsie Tando was buried in the
cemetery and an
Indian boy.
The court records show 3
persons who are probably buried
there: Rufus Winslow,
male, white, 75 yrs old, farmer,
died Nov 13, 1887, married, born in Penn, 16
yrs resident
of Taylor county, died in Grove township, buried

township Nov 15, 1887; Hattie
Tando, female, white,
20 yrs old, maid of all work, died Jul 10,
1888, single, born
Lee county, Ill, 18 yr resident of Iowa, died
Grove twp, buried
Tando's cemetery Jul 11, 1888; and no
name, male, white,
3 months, died Feb 6, 1889, single, buried
Grove cemetery, Tandax
