I have the following family tree all from Bennet, Lancaster Co., NE. This is just the first three generations. Most are buried in the Bennet Cemetery. Ed GLOVER, Lomita, CA \************************************************************************ Descendants of Elijah Barnes GLOVER Generation No. 1 1. Elijah Barnes1 GLOVER (JohnA, ElijahB, SamuelC, JohnD) was born March 19, 1845 in Scioto Co., OH, and died September 08, 1895 in Bennet, Lancaster Co., NE. He married Mary Alice SIDDERS August 15, 1873 in Zanesfield, OH, daughter of James SIDDERS and Sarah ROBINS. She was born May 18, 1854 in Hunterdon County, NJ, and died April 20, 1933 in Bennet, Lancaster Co., NE. Notes for Elijah Barnes GLOVER: These notes come from "Portrait and Biographical Album of Lancaster County, Nebraska": "Elijah B. Glover. One of the most pleasantly situated and inviting homes in the county is found in that of the subject of this sketch, which is located on Section 2, Nemaha Precinct." [This is near Bennet, Nebraska. Read about the history of Bennet in the Biographical Notes for his father Dr. John Glover]. The dwelling is a very solidly built structure of brick and tastefully decorated, both externally and internally. "The arrangement of the interior is such as to meet approval, whether one be seeking rest, convenience, or opportunity for social enjoyment. The house is surrounded by scenery, which, although not so massive in its grandeur as that in the neighborhood of some Colorado homes, or found in certain parts of the course of the Hudson, is nevertheless pleasing in the extreme. The whole comprises a scene indicating a thrifty, energetic people, and a prosperous agricultural community. Our subject was born and lived until his tenth year in Scioto County, Ohio,and dates the commencement of his life to March 19, 1845. His parents removed from Ohio to Council Bluffs, Iowa, about the year 1855, our subject, of course accompanying them. After a residence of one year in the Hawkeye State another removal was made, this time to Nebraska. The family settled in Washington County, the name of the farm being Linwood, and there our subject continued to reside with his parents until he was almost eighteen years of age. In the year 1863 young Glover returned to Ohio, and engaged in mercantile pursuits at Zanesfield, Logan County. This employment was at the time quite congenial, and good success was the result. He continued thus occupied for a period of three years, and then returned to Nebraska. The two years following were spent at the work incidental to agricultural pursuits, when again in 1867, Mr. Glover returned to Ohio and engaged in farming in Champaign County. For nine years our subject was thus engaged, when for the last time he came, in 1878 to Nemaha Precinct [Near Bennet, Nebraska]. His farm comprises 120 acres on section 2, eighty acres of which were bought when he first settled here. The remaining portion having been since purchased, is one evidence of the prosperity which smiled upon him since that time. While residing in his native State [West Liberty, Ohio] our subject became acquainted with Miss Mary A. Sidders, who is the daughter of James and Sarah (Robins) Sidders, and who was born in Hunterdon County New Jersey, May 18, 1854. Yielding to the dictates of the noblest and deepest passion of humanity, the two united their lives and fortunes at Zanesfield, Aug. 15, 1873. This devoted attachment and happy alliance has been crowned by the blessing and brightness of a family circle comprising six children, who are named: Alice M., Katie, Anna Coe, Jennie B., John E., and Laura E. The second child, Katie, died when eighteen months old, in Ohio. Mr. Glover is a man of considerable intellectual power, education and experience, and by his consistent character and life commands the highest regard of the community at large, and more especially of those who know him more intimately in official or home life. He has served several times as a member of the School Board, discharging his duties with dignity and efficiency. The ability and fitness displayed generally by Mr. Glover resulted some time since in his being unanimously elected to the office of Elder in the Presbyterian Church, of which both he and his wife are members. This office, one of the most important in the affairs of any communion, is full of onerous and difficult duties. The satisfactory manner in which these have been met and discharged is recognized by the affection and esteem in which Mr. Glover is held in the church. In the same proportion that this gentleman is held in the regard of his friends and fellow-citizens, is his wife also esteemed and honored, and we believe that Mr. Glover himself would be one of the first to acknowledge that more credit is due to the charms, brightness and aid which his wife has brought into his life, his plans and work, than to his own character or efforts. In the Republican party Mr. Glover finds that which is appreciable to his political thought, and this party received his advocacy and support. Dr. John Glover, the father of our subject, was a native of Scioto County, Ohio, and was born in the second year of this century. His mother, a native of Franklin County, Ohio is Eliza (Nurse) Glover, was born in the year 1817. This lady is still living, but her husband was taken from her side by death June 11, 1885. Their union was fruitful in the birth of four children: Corrine, Catherine, Laura A., and Elijah B., our subject. The father of Mrs. Glover, James Sidders, was born June 7, 1829, in Hunterdon County, NJ; her Mother, Sarah (Robins) Sidders, was born Nov. 27, 1833. They had twelve children: George, Mary A., John W., Sylvester R., Sarah E., Anna M., Charity, Jersey B.; James R., Jonathan, Mahala and Levi. The interesting family we have here briefly sketched is one of a class which it is always a pleasure to be connected with, or to write about. In such homes our country has its strongest bulwarks, and from such family circles draws its best and noblest citizens - those who have grown up in the atmosphere of Christian manhood and womanhood, fitted for the diverse and intricate opportunities and emergencies which sooner or later come into every life. A view of this dwelling which shelters the Glover family is shown in this connection." In 1878 Elijah deeded land near Bennet, Nebraska. [See notes under Dr. John Glover for description of Bennet]. These notes were written by Josephine Coleman: "After Mr. Glover's death in Sept. 8, 1895, Mrs. Glover and her children still of the home returned to her Father's house in Ohio [West Liberty] and stayed for some time. Coming back to Bennet, Nebraska she later moved into town and resided there until her death in Apr 20, 1933. Never having known my Grandfather I cannot realize his grandeur in life. My Grandmother, Mary Alice Glover was a wonderful person, working so hard to keep her family together after the death of her husband. She was a good church member and very seldom did she miss a service. She was quite active in W.C.T.U. work. She took an interest in the school children and many a time has helped me over some rough problems that I could not understand. She was at all times ready to go help the sick and to share her pot luck with the needy. She did a lot of fancy work and crotched many many rag rugs in the evening time to relax and rest. Her fingers were never idle. She left us on Apr 20, 1933 to join her husband in the world beyond. They are interned in the Bennet Cemetery." These notes were from the "Bennet Centennial Program, 1871-1971, Bennet, Nebraska": "Eli Barnes Glover with his wife Alice, moved to Bennet from Ohio in 1876 and bought homestead rights on 80 acres of land one mile north and 1/2 mile east of the town. Land to the west of the homestead was bought later and an 8 room brick home, which still stands, was built, the bricks of which were haulded from Lincoln in horse-drawn wagons by convicts from the State Penitentiary. Mr. Glover was a man of considerable education and experience, high moral character and a willing servant on schoool, and church boards. Politically, he supported the Republican Party. Their church affiliation was Presbyterian. During the grasshopper invasion, lamps were lit in the Glover home, so heavy was the infestation outside. Mrs. Glover was known for her compassion for travelers, providing food for Indians, tramps and Gypsies, alike and had no fear of them. Mr. and Mrs. Glover died at the ages of 50 and 79 years respectively. Still living is Mrs. Bessie Lingle, a daughter." [The 8 room brick house mentioned above was still standing in 2001 but in poor condition and occupied by cattle. Mrs. Bessie Lingle died in 1984.] Notes for Mary Alice SIDDERS: Source: Obituary newspaper clipping in file of Josephine Coleman: " Mrs. M. A. Glover Mary Alice Sidders was born May 18, 1854 in Hunterdon County, New Jersey and when 13 moved to Ohio. She ______in Marriage to Elijah Barnes Glover Aug. 15, 1873 in Logan County, Ohio.

Also eighteen grandchildren and ten great grandchildren. Mrs. Glover was a member of the Bennet Presbyterian church and a charter member of W.C.T.U., in both organizations which has always had a keen interest. The funeral, Sunday was largely attended. Rev. West, her pastor preached the sermon. Burial was at Bennet cemetery." **************************************** >From "Bennet Sun", Bennet, NE, April 27, 1933: "Mrs M. A. Glover Gone To Her Reward After a long period of helplessness, Mrs. M. A. Glover passed away last Thursday evening at her home in Bennet. In her passing, humanity loses a valued friend. Interested always in those institutions that are organized for human weal, she put the weight of her influence with them loyally and unceasingly. She was one of those rare personages that knew how to be staunch with her convictions and at the same time be charitable toward those who were morally lax. Her warmth of heart extended to all. Her spirit was such as to commend the Christian religion where ever she went. Yes, a friend of human beings is gone. The Bennet Sun is only one of the very many to feel the loss and to extend sympathy to the bereft." Children of Elijah GLOVER and Mary SIDDERS are: + 2 i.

Newspaper clipping from the "Bennet Sun" in Josephine Coleman files: "Drowning Tragedy Shocks Bennet The tragic death of a Bennet youth last Friday was a severe shock to the sensibilities and sympathies of our people. A group of boys had gone to the Nisley pond to have a swim. Some of the older boys had left for home and only five boys were in the pond, Roland Ruckle, Freeland Sidders, Harry Lingle, Dean English and Millard Hess. Suddenly Roland seemed to be taken with a cramp and went down. Freeland tried to save him and was nearly pulled to his own death by the drowning boy. Help was summoned and the pond was partially drained before his body could be recovered. Roland was the youngest child of Mrs. Coe Ruckle and had just finished the Bennet Grades and ready for entrance into the High School. It was a tragic blow for the family and the community has hearty sympathy for them. The funeral was held Monday in the Presbyterian Church and the burial was in the Bennet cemetery. The Bennet Sun Joins many others in expressing sympathy to the bereaved." ********************** "Roland Lee Ruckle Roland Lee Ruckle was born in Bennet, Nebraska, January 16, 1917.

John Elijah2 GLOVER (Elijah Barnes1, JohnA, ElijahB, SamuelC, JohnD) was born March 05, 1884 in Bennet, Lancaster, NE, and died June 29, 1955. He married Tula Mabel MORGAN July 01, 1908 in Lincoln, Lancaster, NE, daughter of William MORGAN and Augusta OTTO. She was born July 17, 1885 in Bennet, Lancaster, NE, and died November 26, 1965 in Witchita, KA. Notes for John Elijah GLOVER: John E. Glover, a man of honesty and integrity, was born on a farm northeast of Bennet, Nebraska on Mar 5, 1884. Although he quit school in the 9th grade as most young men of the time were forced to do, he became a success at a number of careers due to his dedication to hard work. He lived in the Bennet area until the age of 12, when in 1896 he moved to West Liberty, Ohio with his mother and sisters after the death of his father. The family returned to Bennet in 1898 and remained in the state thereafter. 1908 marked the beginning of the first of a number of interesting careers. In that year he married Tula M. Morgan and took a job in Lincoln, Nebraska as a motorman on a street car. By 1910 the family consisting of John, Tula and infant son, John Raymond, returned to the town of Bennet. Another son, Sterling Morton was born to them in 1911. The career John pursued during this time was as owner of a dray line (freight line). With his horses and wagon John picked up supplies from the train depot and delivered freight to the local merchants. John also served the community by providing necessary transportation at funerals and by driving the local physician to night time house calls. In March of 1917 the family moved to a farm northeast of Bennet. That year marked the birth of Robert Howard. This move also marked the end of his dray line business and the beginning of a career that took John to Lincoln weekly. He commuted by Model T Ford to Lincoln and worked as an auto mechanic at the South side Garage for his brother-in-law, Clyde Zellers. The birth of two sons occurred during this time. In 1920, Morgan was born and in 1922 Milton Ellsworth was born. Both young babies contracted Pneumonia and Milton died of the disease at the age of six months. A job as custodian of the Bennet Public Schools in 1924 brought John back to Bennet to work. Not only did he hold this job until 1944 but he also held at the same time a job at a radio shop with his brother-in-law Fred Lingle. Into this family of four surviving sons a girl was born. Edythe Louise made her entrance into the family in January of 1924. In 1945 John joined forces with Edythe Louise's husband, Lloyd Languis, in a hardware store business until the Lloyd Languis family moved to Kansas. John continued in the business until his death in June of 1955. John Glover epitomized the very best of the American work ethic by providing for his family a secure and happy life. His innate kindness and goodness provided for all who knew him a fine example of genuine honesty and integrity. This note is from the "Bennet Centennial Program, 1871-1971": "The first undertaker and embalmer was Peter Trexler who operated his enterprise in the basement of his hardware store. He owned what was a beautiful glass-sided hearse, drawn by four coal-black horses and usually driven by John Glover." Its ironic that later in 1945, in this same hardware store with many relics of the embalming business still remaining, was the same one operated by John Glover and son-in-law, Lloyd Languis. Also from the Bennet Centennial Program, "1945: The Trexler Hardware has been sold to John Glover and Harold Finke." Children of John GLOVER and Tula MORGAN are: + 27 i.

She married Frank Lehman LINGLE April 10, 1917 in Bennet, NE, son of Albert LINGLE and Addie MCFREY. He was born September 12, 1878 in Bennet, NE, and died December 21, 1947. Notes for Sarah Elizabeth "Bessie" GLOVER: The following is taken from "Remembrance Of A Grandmother" in honor of Sarah Elizabeth "Bessie" Lingle, 1891-1984, by her grandson, Ronald Allen Lingle. "When I sat down to write this remembrance about my grandmother Bessie, I wondered how anyone could possibly capture the highlights of a life that spanned 92 years in just a few words. I know her parents, Mary Alice & Elijah Glover, were pioneers who moved from Ohio in 1876 to a rural area outside Bennet, Nebraska, where they homesteaded 80 acres of land. I know she spent most of her 92 years in that same area, where she married Frank Lehman Lingle on April 10, 1917 & together they had a child, Harry Robbins, my father. I know when she left Bennet 10 years ago to move to California, she had lived in Lancaster County longer than any other resident. But more than statistics, I wanted this to be a personal remembrance of Bessie Lingle, and to assemble a few of the little bits and pieces of her life that I've learned in the last few years. She loved to talk about the old days back in Bennet. She told me a story once of how when she was a girl, she and her sister Laura were playing and she had a sun stroke and fainted. She explained the wild experience of how Laura rode her back to town, unconscious , on the back of a horse to get help. Somehow, the way she told the story, hinted that she couldn't believe that she'd survived. She talked about how she and her sister owned and operated a millinery business in Bennet. She explained how they purchased goods and materials from a supplier in Lincoln, Nebraska and filled orders for local customers....my grandmother, the liberated woman of the early 1900s. She loved needle work, and her many handcrafted quilts reveal the value and beauty of self discipline and patience. She continued on with her crafts up until the last few years until it became impossible for her. I know my sister was always supplying her with embroidery work and socks that needed darning. Once she asked me if I had socks that needed repair, and I was too embarrassed to tell her that instead of fixing them, I usually threw them out. For many years after she was widowed, she cared for elderly and sick women in her home on a day-to-day, 'round the clock basis. When you look realistically at 92 years, you're looking at a lot of days. Days in a small, quiet town where you don't go out for entertainment, but perhaps more readily learn the value of the gift of life itself. This is what I will remember most about my Grandmother Bessie....her contentment with life. In the last few years, I know from her comments, she learned humility from not being able to care for herself, that she threw away some prejudices she grew up with, and she took more to heart, the word of God. And I believe that as she learned, she realized that she needed more than a teacher, but rather a savior...., and that she believed in His very words..."whosoever believed in me, should not perish, but have eternal life." God bless you Grandma in your new life with the Lord." Child of Sarah GLOVER and Frank LINGLE is: + 34 i. Harry Robbins3 LINGLE, born July 25, 1920 in Bennet, NE; died October 04, 1989 in Granada Hills, Los Angeles, CA. ****************************************************
