DAVID D. GROVER
Veteran Choir Leader, David F. Grover, Dies
David Frederick Grover, 76, pioneer native-born resident, an early city official and musician, is dead.
Mr. Grover died at his home at 2107 Monroe street shortly before 3 o’clock Thursday afternoon. He was stricken with illness several hours previous.
Funeral services will be held at 2 o’clock Saturday afternoon in the Emanuel Evangelical church, of which he was a member nearly all his life. The Rev. Franklin E. Schlueter will officiate and burial will be in Pioneers’ Rest cemetery. The remains can be viewed from 7 to 9 o’clock tonight and Saturday morning at the Beduhn and Goetz funeral home. The body will be taken to the church at 1 p.m.
The deceased, known to old and young in Two Rivers, was born on Adams street between 19th and 20th streets, the site of the late Christ Johannes home. He was born on Dec. 12, 1858, a son of the late Christian and Louise Weisenborn Grover, who immigrated here from Saxony, Germany more than 90 years go. They were among the first families to settle here.
On January 27, 1881, Mr. Grover married Adelia Magee at the homestead farm in the town of Two Rivers. They made their home in Two Rivers. Mrs. Grover died in September, seven years ago.
Mr. Grover, a grandson of Von Weisenborn, regarded as the greatest bandmaster ever to serve in the German army, was a teacher of the violin for nearly a half century. For more than 30 years he was director of the choir of the Emanuel Evangelical church. He was keenly interested in band music and was a regular attendant at concerts of local organizations. Although music was his main interest, Mr. Grover took an active part in local politics, serving the city as an alderman for a number of terms, and also holding membership on the county board of supervisors for one term.
The deceased was the second oldest member of the Emanuel Evangelical church. Mr. Grover is survived by three daughters, Mrs. George Schell of Chicago, Mrs. Thomas Magee of this city and Mrs. A. A. Maas of Encinitas, Calif., and two sons, Henry C. and Edward Grover, both of this city. He also leaves four brothers, Dr. S. F. Grover of Portland, Ore., William and Frank of Newport, Wash., and Joseph Grover of Furport, Wash. There are 10 grandchildren.
During the operation of the old Mann Brothers pail factory the deceased was one of the department heads. For more than 30 years he was an employe of the Aluminum
Goods Manufacturing company.
Six nephews of Mr. Grover will be pallbearers. They are Harry and Franklin Oestreich, Austin and Albert Buege and Seymour and Victor Althen.
