I recently responded to a message board post offering an old Grove family photo. According to the poster, the notation on the back of the photo says "H. J. Grove and Bros", and was taken in Colfax, McLean County, Illinois. Date is unknown. The poster suggested turn of the century to WWI, but I think it is older than that, judging by the dress. It does not appear to be my family, since I've found no connection to the Colfax area. If you think this might be your family, I can forward you a low-res .gif of the photo, and the poster's email. An excerpt from her message is below. If anyone is on the Tazwell County, Illinois list (where a number of Grove families settled), could you please forward a copy of this email to that list? I am not subscribed. Dan Steffen [email protected] El Paso, IL ************************************* Email excerpt: Hi Dan, The photo I have (low-res .gif attached) looks to be WW I vintage. The writing on the back says "H.J. Grove and bros." It was taken in Colfax, IL. I would really love to reunite it with its family. $5 covers what it cost me ($3.75) it plus postage, packaging, etc. So if you locate the right party, have them write me. This is an attractive cabinet card photo in nice condition! --Sue
