December 5, 1923

John F. Grob died at his home on Tuesday, November 27, 1923, and his interment too 
place in the Catholic cemetery on Thursday, November 29.  The deceased was stricken 
with apoplexy as reported last week, and his condition became hopeless.  He leaves his 
widow, and two daughters, Mrs. E.H. Brucker and Mrs. Carl Brucker and one stepson 
David M. Jenkins.  He was aged 56 years, 2 months and 15 days.  For many years he 
was employed in the quarry business, and in the practical management of which he was 
very skillful.  The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J.H. Nollau at the home, and

easy ways endeared him to all who knew him.  The bereaved widow and children have 
the sympathy of their many friends in their sorrow.
