General Notes: Husband - Nicholas Groover

---

He and his wife were born, reared and married in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. They spent some years in Columbia County, and then settled in Union County, first upon a farm in White Deer township, and later, in 1856, upon a homestead near Lewisburg. It was purchased from George Reed, and at the time was but little improved.

He was a cabinet maker by trade, and while conducting his farm did much work in that line, especially after his removal to the vicinity of Smoketown. At the age of seventy-seven he made several bureaus, one of which is was a cherished heirloom years later. His thrift and industry gained him a competence, and in addition to his farm he owned some property in Lewisburg. A stanch Democrat politically, he took a keen interest in the success of his party, and made a point of casting his own vote regularly. In religious affairs he was active in holding office in the White Deer Lutheran Church, with which he and his wife were identified many years.
