he came with his father's family to St. Louis. In 1837 he established there the firm of Glasgow, Shaw & Larkin, which continued until 1840. In 1842 he erected one of the earliest factories to manufacture white lead, but this proving unprofitable, it was discontinued after a short time. William Glasgow, Jr., W. C. Taylor and William Milburn were appointed by the Legislature commissioners for the sixteenth section of public school land. W. C. Taylor and William Milburn dying, the trust was continued in the hands of William Glasgow, and he served as commissioner for over thirty-five years. A large part of this tract was in litigation, and the latter years of his life were largely spent in protecting this trust, and perfecting the titles to the property. Through his energy and zeal many hundred thousand dollars' worth of property were saved to the use of the public schools. A student of the resources of the State, he was impressed in early life with the view that the soil of portions of Missouri was peculiarly well adapted to grape culture, and in 1844 he planted a small vineyard at his residence in St. Louis for the purpose of experimenting in wine-making. His enterprise was one which was generally looked upon as of doubtful issue, but the results not only surprised his friends, but surpassed Mr. Glasgow's most sanguine expectation, demonstrating beyond a doubt that soil and climatic conditions were favorable to the making of good wine in Missouri, and that intelligent enterprise only was necessary to the building up of a prosperous industry of this character. His was the first vineyard established in the State, and to Mr. Glasgow belongs the credit for having introduced a new and profitable feature into the horticulture of Missouri. In 1847 he obtained the first premiums for grapes and wine which had been given by any society in the State. In 1858, with Amadee Valle and Allen H. Glasby, he formed the wine manufacturing company of William Glasgow, Jr., & Co. He became president of this corporation two years later, when it was chartered as the Missouri Wine Company. Under this name both the company and its products became widely known, and Mr. Glasgow obtained much prominence as the pioneer wine-maker of Missouri. April 10, 1840, he married Miss Sarah L. Lane, daughter of Dr. William Carr Lane, who was the first mayor of St. Louis, and one of its most

distinguished pioneer citizens. He died in St. Louis in 1892, aged seventy-nine years.

Glasgow, William Carr, physician, was born January 16, 1845, in St. Louis, son of William Glasgow, Jr. After having passed three years in the Real Gymnasium in Wiesbaden, Germany, Dr. Glasgow entered Washington University, and graduated in 1865. He then began the study of medicine and was graduated from St. Louis Medical College in 1869, afterward taking postgraduate course at Long Island Hospital Medical College, of Brooklyn, New York, which was supplemented by residence and study for two years at the University of Vienna, Austria. Returning then to his native city, he began the practice of his profession under most favorable auspices, and in 1872 was appointed lecturer on physical diagnosis at the St. Louis Medical College. In 1885 he was made adjunct professor of practice in the same institution; in 1886 he was made professor of diseases of the chest and laryngology in the Postgraduate School of Medicine; and in 1890 professor of practice of medicine and laryngology in the Missouri Medical College. In 1899 he was appointed professor of clinical medicine and laryngology in the medical department of Washington University. He was one of the founders of the American Laryngological Society in 1878, and in 1890 he was honored with the presidency of that society. He has been prominent also as a member of the American Climatological Society, of the American Medical Association, and of the Missouri Medical Society. He was co-editor at one time of the "Courier of Medicine," and has contributed many monographs to medical literature. Dr. Glasgow married, in 1877, Fannie E. Englesing, daughter of Captain J. C. Englesing, who served with distinction in the Confederate Army during the Civil War.

Glasgow, William Henry, merchant and manufacturer, was born February 19, 1822, at Belleville, Illinois. He was educated in the schools of St. Louis and at St. Charles College, St. Charles, Missouri. After quitting school he was engaged for a time in the wholesale grocery business in St. Louis, but in 1842 abandoned this business to go on an exploring expedition to Mexico. In the fall of that year he sailed from New Orleans,

Louisiana, to Tampico, Mexico. Leaving Tampico soon after his arrival there, Mr. Glasgow traveled across the country to San Blas, going thence to Mazatlan, on the Gulf of California, from there to Alamos, and then, crossing the mountains, to the old mining town of Jesus Maria. He spent his twentyfirst birthday at Jesus Maria, and then turned homeward, visiting next the city of Chihuahua, making his way from there to Santa Fe, and thence across the plains to Independence, Missouri. In 1846 he went again to Mexico, and was delayed en route by the breaking out of the Mexican War. He was at El Paso, Texas, when Colonel A. W. Doniphan, of Missouri, who had marched with General Kearney to Santa Fe, reached El Paso on his way to join General Wool, then in the interior of Mexico. Enrolling themselves in Captain E. J. Glasgow's company, of Colonel Doniphan's regiment, Mr. Glasgow and his party proceeded on the way to Chihuahua, Mr. Glasgow being commissioned first lieutenant of his company. At Chihuahua he resigned his commission, and established himself in business as a merchant in that city. At the end of a year, and after General Sterling Price had occupied Chihuahua, he returned to St. Louis by way of Monterey. Here he again embarked in the wholesale grocery business, in which he was successfully engaged for many years thereafter. In 1886 he was made president of the St. Charles Car Company, and since that time has become widely known as a manufacturer, and to the railroad interests of the country, the corporation of which he was the head being extensively engaged in the manufacture of all kinds of railway equipments. He has been twice married. First, in 1850, to Mary Frances Wright, daughter of Major Thomas Wright, paymaster of the United States Army, and in 1860, to his second wife, who was Miss Carlotta Nestora Fales before her marriage, and whose earlier home was at Remedios, in the Island of Cuba.

Glencoe.-A station on the Missouri Pacific Railroad, in St. Louis County, twenty-six miles from St. Louis, taking its name from the glen in Scotland where the massacre of the MacDonalds by the Campbells took place in 1689. The place is wild and rugged, but picturesque and attractive, with the Meramec winding through its hills.

Glendale.-A station on the Missouri Pacific Railroad, in St. Louis County, twelve miles from St. Louis. The surrounding region is rolling and beautiful, and near the station are some stately villas-one built by Colonel Sam McGoffin, and afterward owned for many years by Hudson E. Bridge, and after him by George Myers; another, built by Colonel George E. Leighton, and afterward owned and occupied by Charles W. Barstow; and another, the Dyer Place, owned and occupied by Charles A. Dyer; and another, the Cruttenden Place, owned and occupied by Colonel Sam Williams.

Glenn, Allen, ex-judge of probate of Cass County, was born in that county March 30, 1852. His father, Hugh G. Glenn, was descended from Scotch ancestry, the family in Scotland being known as the "Douglasses of the Glen." He was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, February 3, 1817, and devoted the most of his life to agricultural pursuits. In 1839 he came to Missouri and located in Cass County, one and a half miles southwest of Harrisonville, where his death occurred on November 28, 1888. His father, Hugh, was a son of Hugh Glenn, a native of Scotland, and the founder of the family in the United States. This immigrant ancestor located in Virginia, where he reared his family. Hugh G. Glenn originally affiliated with the old Whig party, but afterward became a Democrat. From 1844 to 1848 he served as sheriff of Cass County, and in 1860 was elected judge of the county court. About that time Cass County had issued the bonds in aid of the Missouri Pacific Railway Company. Upon the opening of the war Judge Glenn, by virtue of his office, became the custodian of these bonds, which he kept in safety until the close of the war, when he delivered them to the Federal military authorities. Judge Hugh G. Glenn married Letitia B. Suggette, a native of Georgetown, Kentucky, and a daughter of James Suggette, a native of Pennsylvania, who became one of the early inhabitants of Kentucky. His father was the first white man to make the journey to Santa Fe, New Mexico, and return in safety. The year following the expedition of Lieutenant Zebulon Pike through that region, he went down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to the mouth of the Arkansas, ascended that stream as far as the

re

present site of Fort Gibson, and thence traveled overland, returning home the following year. He was an intrepid explorer, and much of the territory through which he passed undoubtedly had never before been visited by white men. At least none of his predecessors, if there were any, ever turned to describe the country. The education of the subject of this sketch was begun in the common schools of Cass County, and his classical studies were concluded in the Missouri State University, from which he was graduated in 1871. Upon the completion of his college course he began the study of the law in the office of Hall & Givan, at Harrisonville, and in 1874 was admitted to the bar. Since that time he has continuously practiced his profession in that place, with the exception of eight years, in which he served as judge of probate for Cass County. During the early years of his career he was elected to the offices of township collector and justice of the peace as the candidate of the Democratic party. In 1885 he was chosen judge of probate, and was re-elected in 1889, serving two terms of four years each. Since that time he has been engaged in private practice. Judge Glenn, for a long period, has been identified with the Masonic fraternity, in which he is a Knight Templar and a Noble of the Mystic Shrine, affiliating with Ararat Temple, of Kansas City. In religion he is a member of the Baptist Church. His marriage occurred October 9, 1879, and united him with Mary B. Keller, a native of Westport, Missouri, and a daughter of Silas P. Keller, a merchant of Kansas City for many years. They have been the parents of ten children, of whom eight are living, and residing with their parents, namely: Hugh G., Price K., Mary E., Allen B., Winnefred, Robert, Ewing and Catherine. Judge Glenn is from every viewpoint a self-made man. His career has been a highly honorable one. Personally he is known as a man of the highest integrity, high-minded, public-spirited, and generous-hearted. He has always had the best interests of his community at heart, and has thus become an influential and useful member of society.

Glenn, John McClellan, postmaster of Sedalia, was born June 29, 1849, at Washington, Iowa. His parents were Aaron A. and Sarah (McClellan) Glenn, both na

tives of Pennsylvania, and now residents of Iowa. The son, John, was reared on the home farm; his education was acquired in the public schools, and in an academy at Washington, where he took a partial course. When nineteen years of age he went to Marble Hill, Missouri, and there began his business training as clerk in a dry goods store. After an engagement of four years he removed to Fort Scott, Kansas, where he was similarly engaged for two years. In 1876 he located in Sedalia, and for seven years was a salesman in the wholesale and retail dry goods store of John G. Allen & Sons. From 1883 to 1890 he was bookkeeper and cashier in the wholesale stationery store of C. P. Muir. In 1890 he was appointed assistant postmaster under Colonel H. C. Demuth, and held the position during that administration, and for nine months under V. P. Hart, successor to Colonel Demuth. In 1895 he was appointed deputy circuit clerk of Pettis County. April 1, 1898, he received the appointment of postmaster. In 1892 he was elected city treasurer, being the only successful candidate on the Republican ticket, with a majority of 137. He was re-elected in 1894 by a majority of more than 600 votes, and again in 1896 by a majority of more than 800 votes. In 1889 he took the place of a private in the Sedalia Republican Flambeau Club (which see), at its organization. A few months afterward, while absent from home, he was elected to the captaincy by unanimous vote, and has occupied that position continuously to the present time. Many of the elaborate and attractive movements of this famous body were designed by him. personal enthusiasm and high executive ability are attested in the admirable discipline of the club, a purely voluntary organization, and in his continuous re-election to the command during so long a term of years. religion he is a Presbyterian. He was married, February 11, 1878, to Miss Rebeccah C. Otten, who was born in Boonville, and educated in the Sedalia public schools. Four children have been born of this marriage: Flora May, a graduate of the Sedalia high school, was completing a postgraduate course in 1900; Harry, Madge and Leonard were students, the two first named in the Sedalia high school. Captain Glenn, in the various important positions he has been called to occupy, has displayed the highest business

His

In

qualities, and he has discharged every trust with the most scrupulous fidelity. His personal qualities are such as not only command respect, but instill that confidence which attaches men closely, in recognition of congenial companionship and unassuming leadership.

Glennon, John Joseph, bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Kansas City, bears the distinction of being the youngest man to occupy that high station in the United States, and at the time of his election to the office in 1896 he probably was the youngest Roman Catholic bishop in the world. He was born June 14, 1862, in County Meath, Ireland, and is a son of Matthew and Katharine (Kinsella) Glennon. His father, also a native of Ireland, came to America in 1853 and acquired citizenship in the United States prior to the Civil War. Upon the outbreak of the war he returned to Ireland, but a few years later resumed his business in this country, where he remained until 1869. Since that year he and his wife have resided in their native land. The education of Bishop Glennon was begun in a preparatory college at Mullingar, Ireland. Subsequently he pursued the prescribed course in All Hallows College, in Dublin, after which he entered the Catholic University in that city, from which he was graduated in 1883, while yet in his minority. Upon leaving the university he sailed for America, arriving in this country before the twenty-first anniversary of his birth; and, though a native of Ireland, he became, under our laws, an American citizen upon attaining his majority, his father being a citizen at the time of his birth. Bishop Glennon's objective point in America was Kansas City, then the center of a great missionary field for the Catholic Church, where the services of active young men in the church were greatly needed. His course of study in the Catholic University of Dublin had been pursued with the single aim of thorough preparation for a life's labor in the ministry. Upon his arrival in Kansas City he at once entered upon his duties as assistant at St. Patrick's Church, and on December 20, 1884, he was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Hogan. Two and a half years later he returned to Europe, where he remained one year, devoting a part of the time to further study. Upon his return to

Kansas City in 1887 he received the appointment of rector of the Cathedral, in which office he served until 1893, when he was named as vicar general of the diocese. One year later he became administrator of the diocese, and in 1896 was elected to the dignity of bishop of Kansas City. This diocese includes the entire southwestern portion of the State of Missouri. During the administration of Bishop Glennon it has developed at a remarkable rate, and now (1900) comprises 130 churches, including missions, under the pastoral care of ninety priests. The Catholic population of the diocese is now about 50,000 persons, who support, besides many churches, various colleges, convents, asylums, orphanages, hospitals and parish schools. Bishop Glennon is a man of striking personality, great strength of character, and unusual administrative and executive ability.

Glenwood.-An incorporated village in Schuyler County, one mile south of the junction point of the Wabash and the Keokuk & Western Railways, two miles west of Lancaster. It has two churches, a graded school, bank, two hotels, foundry and machine shops, a woolen mill, flouring mill, wagon factory, a newspaper, the "Phonograph," and about twenty other business places, including lumber and coal yards, general stores and other stores in various lines of trade and shops. Population, 1899 (estimated), 500.

Glover, John Milton, lawyer and member of Congress, was born in St. Louis, Missouri, June 23, 1855. He was educated at Washington University, and after studying law was admitted into the firm of Glover & Shepley, of which his father was senior member. In 1884 he was elected to Congress from the Ninth Missouri District as a Democrat, and in 1886 was re-elected, by a vote of 9,830 to 8,133 for McLean, Republican.

Glover, John Montgomery, soldier and Congressman, was born in Mercer County, Kentucky, September 4, 1824, and died at LaGrange, Missouri. He received a good education and came to Missouri while a young man. In the Civil War he was an Unconditional Unionist, and was appointed by President Lincoln colonel of the Third Missouri Volunteer Cavalry, serving till

1864, when he resigned on account of impaired health. He was appointed collector of internal revenue for the Third Missouri District in July, 1866, and served till March, 1867. In 1872 he was elected from the Twelfth Missouri District to the Forty-third Congress as a Democrat, over J. F. Benjamin, Republican, with a majority of over 3,000, and in 1874 and 1876 was again elected, serving in all three terms.

Glover, Samuel T., long known as one of the great lawyers of the Missouri bar, was born in Mercer County, Kentucky, March 9, 1813. His childhood and youth were passed on a farm, where he first began to read law, which he pursued diligently in connection with his other studies until he entered the college at Bardstown. At this institution he graduated with the highest honors of his class. After practicing a year or two in his native State he removed to Missouri, and was admitted to the bar at Palmyra in 1837, where, in connection with his partner, John T. Campbell, he acquired a large clientage throughout the second judicial circuit. In 1849 he went to St. Louis and established a partnership the next year with John C. Richardson, which was continued until 1857, when Mr. Richardson was elected to the supreme bench. Three or four years later the law firm of Glover & Shepley was formed, and continued until the death of Mr. Glover, January 22, 1884. John R. Shepley was, like Mr. Glover, one of the most able and distinguished legal lights of St. Louis. An interesting fact is related illustrating the esteem in which the characters of both men were held. When the case of McGuire vs. Taylor was instituted, and during a litigation of many years-a case involving heavy interests, and which was three times before the United States Supreme Court-Mr. Glover represented one of the partners and Mr. Shepley the other. Pending the suit these gentlemen entered into their law partnership, and each proposed to his client to retire from this case; but such was the confidence of McGuire and Taylor in their attorneys that they insisted that the proceedings should go on without reference to the new relation, without the least diminution of zeal on the part of either lawyer. Mr. Glover's first case in the State Supreme Court is reported in the fifth volume of Missouri

Vol. III-5

Supreme Court Reports. From that to the seventy-sixth there is not one volume which does not present him as counsel in numerous important cases. For thirty years he practiced in the United States courts. The reports of Howard, Black, Wallace and Otto bear testimony to the frequency of his appearance before the highest tribunal of the land, as well as to the learned, able, painstaking and conscientious discharge of his duties in behalf of the varied interests he represented. Mr. James L. Blair, in an address before the Kansas City Bar Association, in March, 1897-an address which splendidly portrays the career of Mr. Glover -states that Mr. Glover appears in the reports as having been in thirty-two cases in the United States Supreme Court, thirtyfive in the St. Louis Court of Appeals, and 410 in the Missouri Supreme Court. It would seem that his professional duties could have left him but little time for aught else, but we find Mr. Glover prominent in organizing the Missouri Historical Society, and in various movements for intellectual advancement. He was one of the petitioners to the General Assembly to provide for a thorough geological survey of Missouri, and prepared the memorial on that subject, thus taking the first step toward the development of the vast mineral resources of the State. In politics Mr. Glover, although raised in the atmosphere of slavery, early exhibited a leaning toward the policy of emancipation, and after coming to St. Louis he identified himself with the Free Democratic party, cooperating with Blair, O. D. Filley, John How, Gratz Brown and others of that faith. He assisted in promoting the movement for the nomination for President at the Chicago convention, 1860, of Edward Bates, who became a member of Mr. Lincoln's cabinet. From first to last he was an unflinching Unionist.

A fitting arena for Samuel T. Glover would have been the United States Senate chamber, but, though he was twice persuaded— in 1871 and again in 1879—to be a candidate, he did not reach the station of a Senator. He was wholly unused to the arts and lacked the "personal magnetism" of the modern politician. His intimate friends knew he possessed unusual social qualities; in familiar conversation he was brilliant and delightful, with a playful humor; but he
