Sad news of the passing of William (Bill) Grover

The story of the tragedy of the death of Mr. William (Bill) Grover of the Anderson Road neighborhood of Greenbriar RD is beginning to reach us.

From the information we have, Mr. Grover died as the result of a heroic effort to rescue his wife, who was stranded in high water.

Friends of the Bill Grover say he exemplified the spirit of Adair County in a wonderful way.

Among his many contributions were several memorable appearances in Folklore of the Old West Bank Robbery pageant as a member of the Green River Cowboys, whose membership, with the death of Mr. Grover, has been dealt a second tragedy in just over four years.

The scant information we have now is that Stotts-Phelps-McQueary Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements, but details of those arrangements are still being worked out.

Further information, including memorial arrangements and tributes to Mr. Grover will be posted as receved. Comments and further submissions are welcome. Thanks to Barry Jones, Larry Smith, and Stotts-Phelps-McQueary Funeral Home for contributions to this brief item.
