Biography of Daniel Grogg, pages 875 / 876.  History of De Kalb County, 
Indiana.  Inter-State Publishing Company, Chicago, 1885.

Daniel Grogg, one of the early settlers of Union Township, was born in Stark 
County, Ohio, Aug. 13, 1818, a son of Solomon and Mary (Snyder) Grogg, 
natives of Northampton County, Pa., who emigrated to Stark county in an 
early day.  The father died in Ohio, and the mother afterward came to De 
Kalb County, Ind., with her children and died here at the age of ninety-
five years.  Daniel Grogg was reared on a farm, reciving a common-school 
education.  In May, 1849, he moved to De Kalb County, Ind., and settled on 
the farm where he still lives, at that time a tract of wild land.  He first 
bought 120 acres, and to this has added till he now owns 380 acres.  His 
residence  is a large, two-story brick building, and his farm buildings are 
among the best in the township.  He has made a specialty of wheat, but has 
also paid considerable attention to stock-raising.  He was married in Ohio, 
in 1843, to Elizabeth Hutz, and to them have been born five sons---John, 
Abraham, George, Peter and Franklin.  Their only daughter died in young 
ladyhood.  Mr. and Mrs. Grogg are members of the Lutheran church.  Mr. 
Grogg is one of the representative farmers of Union Township, and has 
acquired his property by his good judgement and strict attention to his 
business.
