An American Family History

Edward Groves was born on December 15, 1875 in Illinois. He was the son of Isabelle Solinger and Ridraldo T. Groves.

Isabelle's grandson, Richard Fox wrote

I don't know about any children but one, Ed Groves, who ran a candy store possibly in Kansas City. He used to send five or ten pounds of candy to Isabelle every Christmas and I got my fill. This was old-fashioned candy he manufactured himself. Some of it was hard candy ribbons, hoar hound, fudge with nuts, etc. Much of it you would never find today.
