While not entirely unexpected, news of Mrs. Groves' passing comes as a source of deep regret and sorrow to a wide circle of friends whose sympathy goes out to the Groves family. Mrs. Groves had been in declining health for the past several years and during this time had suffered a number of critical illnesses, through which she was always patient, withstanding pain with remarkable fortitude. Her final illness is attributed to pneumonia and for several days she had been living in an oxygen tent. Mrs. Groves was the wife of Ira Groves, who preceded her in death a number of years ago. The passing of a son, Clyde, a year or longer ago, brought deep grief to Mrs. Groves, who was then in frail health. Her happy disposition, cordial welcome to everyone in her hospitable home, and devotion to her family, are beautiful sources of memory for all who knew and loved her dearly. Her home was always a refuge for stranger of friend alike, for her kindness knew no bounds. Of the immediate family there are three sons, James and Forest, of Plymouth, Glenwood of Chicago, and two daughters, Mrs. J. H. Warrick and Mrs. T. H. Callihan, of Plymouth. There are five grandchildren, Mrs. Wilma Warrick Swisegood, Mitchael M. Callihan and Gene Groves of Plymouth, Mrs. Mae Groves Dixon of near Tennessee and Glennie Groves of Chicago, and also two great-grandchildren, of whom she was especially fond. - ------------------------------- Hancock County Historical Society Carthage, Illinois Lawton 6 Page 88 Column 5 The Tri-County Scribe Files January 30, 1941 A large number of relatives and friends paid their final tribute of esteem to Mrs. Carrie Groves, Saturday afternoon, when final rites for the beloved woman were held at the Nichols Funeral Home.
