Levi C. Groseclose
Father Groseclose was born June 6th, 1820 in Wythe county, Va. His
childhood was spend on a farm until he was twenty, when he went to college
at Lexington, S. C. Later he attended Gettysburg College of several years,
but owing to lack of funds was unable to complete his course there. It is
said he and his companion walked several hundred miles home from the
college. After teach school in Kentucky for three years, and taking a
private course in theology under the direction of a pastor, he was licensed
to preach by the old Southwest Virginia Synod, of which Dr. J. A. Brown was
then president.
His first active work in the ministry was as a missionary in Davidson and
Stokes counties, North Carolina from 1849 to 1856. Then he took a settled
pastorate at Salisbury, N. C., where he remained until the summer of 1861,
when he accepted a call to St. Stephen's church, near Gold Hill, in the
same state. He remained at this place August 1867, when he was called to a
charge at Mt. Pleasant. N. C. While he was located in this latter place he
assisted quite materially in founding the Western North Carolina College at
Mt. Pleasant. He remained in this pastorate until 1873, when he accepted a
call to the Jonesboro pastorate, at Jonesboro, Ills. From this latter
point he went to Irving, Ills., where he remained from 1984 till 1877 ,
when, on account of failing health, he was obliged to seek a dry climate.
In the latter year he removed to Eureka, Kans., assuming charge of Christ's
Lutheran church, of which he was a pastor two years, resigning on account
of continued poor health. At this period he retired from the active
ministry and spent the remainder of his days quietly in his Eureka home.
About three years ago he celebrated, with his good wife, his golden
wedding. Mrs. Groseclose was formerly a Miss Honeycutt, sister of the late
Rev. J. E. Honeycutt, of Chambersburg, Pa. He leaves a devoted wife, who
for many years past has shared his sorrows and trials as a most faithful
companion. Two sons survive him John, of San Marcos, Texas, and W. B.
(William Bittle), of St., Louis, who is General Freight Agent of the M. K.&
T. Ry., and one daughter, Mrs. Charles Weiser, of Eureka. The writer feels
keenly the loss of his old friend, with whom he spent may precious hours,
especially in his latter days. We hope to meet again in the better world,
where the infirmities of old age will trouble us no more. Our deepest
sympathies go out for the widow, as well as our warm prayers, that God may
comfort her in her old age.

family friends he was known as "Dad" and as such he will always be remembered. Throughout
