HARRISONBURG- Mrs. Elizabeth Heatwole Grove, 74, a former resident of Waynesboro, died unexpectedly at her home in Dale Enterprise at 12:50 p.m. Sunday.
Mrs. Grove was the wife of Earl L. Grove. She has been a volunteer weather observer at the old Dale Enterprise weather station founded by her father, the late Lewis J. Heatwole in 1880 for the past three decades.
After the death of her father in 1933, Mrs. Grove and her brother, the late Justus B. Heatwole, recorded the weather conditions for the Weather Bureau. Since Mr. Heatwole's death in 1959, Mrs. Grove had continued the work alone.
Mrs. Grove taught in the public schools for seven years during her early life and later served as a substitute teacher. She was a member of the Weavers Mennonite Church near Harrisonburg and taught in the Church Sunday School.
Born on Nov. 16, 1896, at Dale Enterprise, she was also a daughter of the late Mary Coffman Heatwole. Besides her husband, she is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Richard Weaver of Harrisonburg; a sister, Mrs. Annie L. Heatwole of Harrisonburg and two grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. in the Weavers Mennonite Church with Bishop Mahlon Blosser officiating, assisted by the Rev. D. W. Lehman and Bishop Lloyd Horst. Burial will be in the Weavers Cemetery.
The body will rest at the Grove residence until the hour of service. Relatives and pallbearers will meet at the home at 2 p.m. Tuesday for a brief service conducted by the Rev. Chester K. Lehman before going to the church.
