Mr. Glover is an Odd Fellow and a Republican, and is one of the county's best representative men. He has been township (Shawswick) Assessor four terms. His father was an early Sheriff of the territorial county and was a prominent man. In the family are many traditions of the times when Indians and wild animals roamed the forests of Lawrence County.
