THE GARFIELD LEADER
Garfield, Pawnee County, Kansas
September 29, 1910
Death of E.W. Grover
Died at the National Military Home, Dayton, Ohio, August 20, 1910, E.W. Grover, aged 78 years.
Mr. Grover was a well known pioneer of Garfield who built a sod house in the early seventies, where the residence of W.M. Porteous now stands. In 1877, was an Excursion agent for the Santa Fe Railway and brought to Kansas many Emigrants from Ashtabula Co., Ohio. Later he moved to town and built the home now owned by Mrs. Ellen Miller and the south part of the Geo. K. DeMun residence. Was many years re-elected Justice of the Peace and was always ready to do his part in anything that would help Garfield, Pawnee County, or Kansas. About 1880, was engaged in the Real Estate business and had an office on the corner northeast of the residence of C.A. Leidy, which was afterwards burned. In the early eighties, he moved to Kansas City and about ten years later to Windsor, Ashtabula Co., Ohio, his original home. Was a soldier in the sixties. In a letter to the writer, dated March 28, spoke in very high praise of what our Government was doing at the Soldiers Home in Dayton, Ohio, for the old Veterans. One by one the "Boys in Blue" are passing away, and the younger generation do not realize the debt we all owe to those who risked their lives for us in the sixties.
