Great-Great Grandpa Groff


Joseph Bernard Groff (10/31/1838-9/23/1912)is my gg-grandfather on my father's side. He was born in Muskingum county Ohio and died in Somerset, Perry county Ohio. He served in the Civil War in the 1st Battalion Company A of the 12th infantry regiment of the U. S. Army. After the war he became and shoemaker and married Sarah Jane Krumlauff and had a family. This picture was taken 2 year before his death.
This is my attempt to use flickr and images, plus a little family history on the side.
