He homesteaded in Montana; went out there as a school teacher. Found out the boys had failed so many times that they were almost as old as him. Right away one of them challenged him to a fight, said he had whipped every teacher they had up until Grover. Grover took the challenge. They fought a long time and Grover finally won. The boy had broken some of Grover's ribs. Grover played ball with the other children so as not to let anyone know the boy had hurt him.
I think he gave up teaching after one year. Then he would work up in Canada at the lumber mills in the winter to buy seed wheat and farm in the summer. He married his wife Frankie an employee of Yellowstone Park. There farming had grown. They raised wheat and mustard seed. The land was so dry they had to summerfile it.
Plow and disc for one season to store moisture in the ground so they could plant the next year! I met them one time in the late 1940s. They were driving a 1936 Ford which had its 3rd engine in it. The car looked nice. They had 2 D model John Deere Tractors. Grover drove one; Frankie drove one. Much later they found Grover floating in his pond. We don't know for sure but we believe a natural death. Grover told us that his land was a glacier deposit. He had dug a well and the ground was top soil at 40 ft deep. He said he could still raise 60 bushel of wheat to the acre. When he first started it was 80 bushel. He said some of his neighbors were just then starting to use fertilize. He had not. He had plowed up 40 acres the year before that he had always used as pasture for one cow. He still had 40 acres that had never been plowed for his cow to graze in.
