Notes:

Isaac Groh, "the second youngest son of John and Susannah (Wanner) Groh, was born on the farm on which he now resides, situated a little more than a mile south-west of Hespeler, March 14th, 1829. He is the possessor of over 200 acres of land. Upwards of nearly half a century Mr. Groh's name has been connected with those whose object is to elevate and advance the cause of their fellow citizens. During the years 1877-78 he served the municipality of Waterloo Township as councilor. In 1879 he was first deputy reeve, and for the years 1880-83 he was reeve for the township. At the close of the year 1883 he, not wishing to be re-elected, retired from taking any interest in municipal matters. By the request and urging of his numerous friends, he again allowed himself to be elected as reeve for the township for the year 1889, at the close of which he again retired. He is still quite healthy and active, and could, if required, give a strong helping hand in managing municipal matters pertaining to the township. In politics he advocates the principles of the Reform party. On May 9th, 1848, he was married to Mary, daughter of Tobias and Catharine (Stryker) Wanner. She was born November 10th, 1828. They have had a family of eleven children"

____________________________-

Isaac Groh, Reeve of the Township of Waterloo, was born on the farm where he now resides, in the south-eastern portion of the township, fifty-two years ago. His ancestors were among the pioneers of the township, the family first coming hither from Pennsylvania in 1804, since which date they have been closely identified with the material affairs of this part of Waterloo, and of the community in general. Mr. Isaac Groh's entire life has been spent amid the scenes which now surround him, where, since attaining to man's estate, he has held a place of prominence among those whose efforts have been directed to the furtherance of local interests. He has served five years in the township Council, during the past two of which he has occupied the Reeve's chair.
