H M Groves At Rest
On Saturday the residents of Firth and vicinity were shocked to learn that about 6 o'clock that morning Harvey Groves one of the oldest settlers in these parts, had breathed his last. Two days prior to his death, the deceased had complained of having a sore throat, and about 3 o'clock of the morning that he died, called the household to his side and in a few hours, while setting in a chair, his soul passed out into the great beyond.
Mr Groves was a great deal larger than the average sized man and notwithstanding this fact, was quite spry. He enjoyed telling of his adventures in this country in the early day and usually had attentive
audience while relating his thrilling tales. He was jolly, kind hearted and a man of unquestionable character.
During Mr Groves mission on earth, he had accumulated a good amount of wealth and owned one of the prettiest homes in this vicinity.
He leaves an aged wife, one son, Elmer Groves, of Adams, and one
daughter, Mrs Charles Isley, of near this place, to mourn the loss of a kind and affeectionate husband and father. His loss will also be keenly felt by a large number of relatives and friends.
Henry Harvey Groves was born in Henry County, Indiana, January 20, 1840; was united in marriage to Lucinda Parish February 24, 1866; 5 children were the fruits of this union, three having passed away while young.
A sister residing at Tippecanoe, Indiana, is the only surviving member of this generation of Groves.
After their marriage, the happy couple resided in Marshall County, Indiana, for a period of 5 years. From their they moved to Nebraska, locating at Adams for a short time., afterward homesteading near Firth, where he seen this once vast desert developed into one of the greatest agricultural states in the union.
Funeral services were held at the home, near this city, Monday, June 27, 1910, at 1 o'clock pm, Rev Hull, of Adams, officiating. The remains were laid to rest in Adams Cemetery, by the side of those of his children who had preceeded him to the other world.
