General Notes: Husband - Amos Groff

---

He was born at the old family homestead, and his life during boyhood was that of the average country boy of that day, farm work requiring much of his time. He attended the "Pontius school" in his district, and might have had better opportunities when he completed the course of study there, but he declined his parents' offer to send him elsewhere. Practical training in all kinds, the details of farm work management prepared him for his successful career, while by precept and example his father and mother impressed upon him the value of honesty and uprightness, and all the sterling qualities of character which go to make up good citizenship.
After his marriage he continued to reside at the homestead until March, 1893, when he removed to Vicksburg, his widowed mother accompanying him. Although he did not work as actively as before, he still supervised his extensive property. He was a leading member of the Reformed Church, and was active in local politics, his advocacy of Republican doctrines being as constant and effective as was that of his honored father. He has never sought office, however, his business requiring his entire time and attention.
