What we know

Marr: 'The Glen Grove post office was established in November of 1869 at George Robinson's place', a halfway stage stop with the house as hotel and the barn for changing horses. That this 1880s homestead is the 1869 'place' is an inference, so the Glen Grove marker stays at the school.

Where it was

Center of Sec. 25, T9S R68W, where Elizabeth A. Robinson's four homestead forties meet (final proof, Castle Rock Journal, April 20, 1887).

Placed from a written description, such as a land section, a distance from a landmark or an old survey note.
