Excerpt from The Autobiography of the Reverend Lewis Grout With an Introduction by the Rev. Luther M. Keneston

Lewis Grout (born at Newfane, Vermont, January 28, 1815, died in Brattleboro, Vermont, March 12, was a missionary in South Africa from 1849 to 1862, and in his lifetime Christian natives and their children and their children's children rose up to call him blessed.
