His obit in the Northfield News, as cited by Dalby:

Thomas A. Grove, a well known resident of Northfield, died at noon Friday, July 19, after a long illness. Mr. Grove had been in poor health ever since the death of his oldest son, Walter Andrew, three years ago, when he had an attack of scarlet fever. Last February he was taken seriously ill, but recovered sufficiently to return to work again for a few weeks. In May, however, his illness took a turn for the worse, ending in his death last Friday. The funeral exercises were held Monday afternoon at 2:30 at the home at 706 Union street and at 3 oclock at the Congregational church chapel, Rev. E. B. Dean officiated. Miss Edna Mabon and Tom Mabon sang two songs, “Beautiful Isle of Somewhere” and “Sometime Well Understand,” the same songs that were sung at the funeral of his son three years ago. The interment was made at Oaklawn cemetery, where the burial services were conducted by the Workman lodge, of which the deceased was a member. The profusion of flowers and the large crowd at the funeral testified to the esteem in which the deceased was held. The pallbearers at the funeral were L. R. Williamson, D. D. Springsted, C. A. Schleif, Jos. Drake, Ben Odegaard, and Knute Johnson. Visitors from out of town were Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Wohlers of Faribault, and Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Hensworth, Nels Kvale, Fred Loe, Ingebret Kvale, Miss Ingelev Kvale, and Miss Holden, all of Minneapolis. Mr. Grove was born in Vang, Valders, Norway, on Sept. 5, 1873, and came to America with his parents in 1876. The family settled in Goodhue county and later removed to this vicinity, where they made their home on a farm on the Brush Prairie road. On Aug. 24, 1901, Mr. Grove was married to Miss Florabelle Chamberlain of Northfield, and the couple went to live on the present Spring Brook farm, where they remained two years. Then they moved to Northfield and with the exception of a year spent in Wichita, Kans., they made this their home since. Mr. Grove was employed as a clerk in grocery stores and was known as one of the best and most efficient clerks in the trade. Most recently he was employed at the L. R. Williamson store. Mr. Grove is survived by his wife and three children, Lyle John, Edgar Thomas and Byer Andrew. He leaves also his aged father, Andrew A. Grove, Sr., of this city, two brothers, Ole Grove of Northfield and Andrew A. Grove of Milbank, S. D., and three sisters, Misses Emma and Minnie Grove and Mrs. R. A. Whitson of Northfield.

Jim’s notes: I USA kalte de seg Grov. Han måtte selge Grøv og tok med seg hele huslyden til Amerika. Han hadde tidligere fått skjøte på gården (3.11.1971) for 300 spd av Trond Baggetun. Han lånte 1400 kroner av Johannes A. Nordland mot pant i Grøv og en pan t i Kvåle (38/4 Myradn) som han hadde kjøpt i 1869.

In the 1880 census, he was a farmer in Bridgewater Twp, Rice County, Minnesota. The household consisted of Andrew Grove, 39, Jennie, 35, Andrew, 12, Oly, 10, Thomas, 8, Sarah, 6, Emily, 4, and Mary, 1. The youngest child had been born in Minnesota, the others were born in Norway.
