Bessie Groves Clamme was born and died in Blackford County. She married John Clamme, brother to my great grandfather. Bessie's father was Aaron Groves, her mother Samantha Turner. I believe that Aaron had a few brothers, Lew, Hen or Henry, and John.
I believe that most of Aaron's brother's lived in surrounding counties, not necessarily Blackford. I think that his parents are buried next to him in the old IOOF cemetery there in Hartford City, but the marker just says, _Mother and Father_, so it's hard to tell.

Bessie -
Some of the information on Bessie Groves and John Henry Clamme was provided by William E. Groves, PhD, CDP. He, like James M. Smith, are descended from Bessie Groves, James from the Clammes and William from the Groves line. (ADH) "Bessie (Groves) Clamme's daughter Rosemary relates that Bessie died from "bloating." Her husband John had just returned home from the Indiana State Fair and brought a very large prize winning water melon which he had been given by on of the exhibitors at the fair. Rosemary shared part of it and then had to leave to go to Fort Wayne, Indiana where she was to begin classes at Indiana Business College. She had just arrived there when she received a call to return home immediately. Apparently stomach gas had developed from eating so much of the melon. Not being able to relieve the pressure it ultimately caused her heart to fail." - James Melvin Smith, in an e-mail to William E. Groves, 3-4-02. (2002)
