    2. Mike and Amber Sellers
    3. That's from over in my (former) neck of the woods, though I've always known the Mennonites to be just across the county line in Rockingham county. The father, Isaac Newton Grove, is buried in the Union Chapel Cemetery just east of Weyers Cave, Augusta County, Virginia. Its located on Route 773 about 4/10s of a mile south of the intersection with route 769. Wife "E. Elizabeth Grove" is buried with him. Isaac Newton Grove was the s/o Isaac Grove and Catharine Wenger. I believe that wife "Lizzie" was Elizabeth Landes. They were married December 23, 1873, and I think they had upwards of 13 children. Unfortunately, I do not know where the "Sellers" came from for son Arthur's middle name. Dates on their gravestones read: Isaac N. Grove: b., 1851 - d., 1930, Aged 79 years E. Elizabeth Grove: b., 1854 - d., 1911, Aged 57 years A daughter, Anna Bell Grove is buried beside them: Anna Bell Grove: b., Mar 25, 1878 - d., Oct 2, 1885 'Aged 7 yr 6 mo 8 da: D/O I. N. & E. E. Grove' Arthur Sellers Grove mentioned in the Mennonite newspaper is buried next to his sister, Anna Bell. Arthur S. Grove: b. Feb 4, 1894 - d. Apr 24, 1896 'Aged 1 yr 2 mo 20da: S/O I. N. & E. E. Grove' Hope that helps someone ...
