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.

Notes:

Find A Grave calls her Emma Grove Hemsworth, 14 Jun 1858 to 1 Jan 1955, wife of John Hemsworth 1863-1948. Her brother Thomas’s obit refers to a Mrs. J. E. Hemsworth so that name is probably correct, even if the date is not.

Ingeleiv married John E HEMSWORTH on 20 Jan 1931 in Rice County, Minnesota. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Called Mary in the 1880 census.

The 1900 census shows her as 21 years old, born in September of 1878. She is in the 1880 census as one year-old Mary. It’s hard to understand why the obvious error of the 1881 birth date is repeated so many times in the records, including her gravestone and her obit.

In the 1930 census, she is Minnie Grove, age 39, living in a rooming house in Fargo, North Dakota. She is a corset clerk in a department store.

Minnie’s obit in the Faribault Daily News, cited by Dalby:

Funeral services for Miss Minnie Grove, 73, who passed away at the Northfield Hospital Tuesday evening, Dec. 28, after a short illness, were held this afternoon at the Anderson Funeral Chapel. The Rev. Ivar Ramseth officiated at 1:30 p.m. Burial was made in the family lot in the Northfield Cemetery. Pallbearers were John Elling, Roland Hoover, John Ellingboe, Clarence Kolstad, Algot Pearson and Forest Drake. Miss Minnie Grove was born in Northfield on Sept. 6, 1881. She made her home in Northfield where she attended the local schools and was employed for several years as saleslady in the Alex Marshall Company. In 1924 she left to make her home in Fargo, N. D., where she remained until 1938. Since that time she has resided in Northfield and Minneapolis making her home with her sister, Mrs. Emma Hemsworth.
