General Notes: Husband - Henry Groover

---

He had a district-school education, attending the Ramsey school in White Deer township, Union County, Pennsylvania, and the Gundy school in East Buffalo township. His life at home familiarized him with farm work, and he made choice of that calling in early manhood. When eighteen years old his father gave him his time, and he began to work at the carpenter's trade, but finding it uncongenial he found employment as a farm hand.
After he married he rented for a short time in Smoketown, with John Reber. His parents were then beginning to feel the effects of their advancing years, and in the spring of 1865 Mr. Groover took charge of the homestead, which he afterward purchased, both parents remaining with him during their last days.
