Groff had excellent educational opportunities afforded him, passing his earlier boyhood in the Lancaster county schools, afterward spending two years in the Millersville State Normal School and later taking a commercial course in the Weidler & Musser Business College, and then learned the milling business and followed the same for eighteen years. He is a man of very practical ideas and in order to get better acquainted with modern methods, he spent some time among the great milling plants in Northern Minnesota. He subsequently carried on a milling business at Quarryville for five years, and at Houtzdale for two years and then retired form the milling line and purchased his present hotel.
