Death of An Old Resident – H. J. Grooters
(Grandville Avenue Record – 7 Aug 1914 – Pg. 1)
In the death of H. J. Grooters, that took place last Saturday, this community
will miss a familiar figure. The deceased had lived at 663 Grandville avenue
about 27 years, coming here from Grand Haven.
He had been in the employ of Foster, Stevens & Co. ever since he came here. He
lived to the age of 65, and leaves a wife and seven children. The funeral was
held at his late home last Tuesday, and at the Fifth Reformed church, where he
was an elder for many years, retiring some time ago owing to ill health.
Mr. Grooters continued his services with Foster, Stevens & Co. up to about four
weeks ago. In his church work he was always found faithful to his trust, and
very active. Rev. Hoffman, former pastor, now of Zeeland, conducted the services
at the home, in English, and Rev. Nettings in the Holland language. At the
church both ministers conducted the services. Interment took place in Oakhill
cemetery.
