Hello David, I do not see any Baty, or Grove family in the "Growth of Lake Co., OR." I do see information about Eli Craven Mason. P. 21 lists that in 1869, Eli Craven Mason was the first County Judge of Lake County. P. 31 lists information printed in the first issue of the Lakeview newspaper "The State Line Herald, date November 18, 1878. It lists who the important people are and the business information of the time. It lists officials of Lake Co. at that time as representative, C. W. Broback; county judge, E.C. Mason; commissioners, E.C. Randall and Jacob Bales; clerk R.B. Hatton, sheriff, J.L. Hanks; treasurer, Andrew McCallen; surveyor, V.L. Snelling, deputy sheriff, Jas. Fitzgerald. Did you notice a J.B. Mason who was mentioned on p. 133 as one who helped with the organization of the First Presbyterian Church of Lakeview? It was listed in a previous message. Hope this is of some help. I have not checked marriage records or cemeteries etc. for Lake Co. for you yet. Do you need me to check there? Joyce in CA
