General Notes: Husband - William H. Grove


He was reared and educated in his native township. He followed agriculture for five years, and then engaged in merchandising at New Lebanon, Pennsylvania. In 1889 he went to Venango, Crawford County, where he carried on a general store until 1891, then sold out and located in Butler. He established a grocery store in this bor-ough, which he then conducted successfully. Mr. Grove was a member of the Presbyterian church, and in politics, he was a Republican.

He was an infant when deprived of his father's care and protection, but he was afforded educational advantages at the Soldiers' Orphans' School in Mercer County, Pennsylvania. From the age of sixteen years to twenty-one he followed farming and then engaged in a mercantile business, which he continued until 1889, when he went to Butler, Pennsylvania. There he resumed merchandising and also became interested in the oil business. He remained at Butler until 1898, when he came to Lawrence County and accepted the position of cashier of the First National Bank of Wampum, coming from there in 1906 to the Home Trust Company. He had numerous other interests in the county and was a director in the New Castle Notion Company, a director in the First National Bank of Wampum, a director in the Standard Wire Company and was president of the Young Produce Company.
