MO d/c 37424
1979 Shelbina Democrat, by Barbara DAVIS GREENWELL
"The GROUT family emigrated to the midwest from Essex County, Vermont in the 1830 and early 40's. They were straight-laced New Englanders, and found life in Missouri very difficult compared to what they had experienced in Vermont. They were educated and came as teachers to the frontier territory. Grandpa Alden Rice and his maiden sisters, Prudence Helen (she has always been known in the family as P.H.) and Harriet St. John GROUT taught some of the earliest schools held in Northeast Missouri," said Miss Anna Ryan GREENWELL. Their father, Reuben S. GROUT is buried in the Salem Baptist Cemetery, northeast of Paris in Monroe County.
