From Memoirs of the Miami Valley, Vol. III, 1919 pages 257/258: S. S. Glasgow, a native Ohioan and a highly respected citizen, and who is now living in comfortable retirement after many years of connection with business and agricultural interests, was born in Adams county, Ohio, June 4, 1851, a son of William B. Glasgow, a native of the same community. This is an old and honored family of Scotland, from which the city of Glasgow derives its native, and Mr. Glasgow's grandfather was one of three brothers to emigrate from that country to America at an early date, all of whom, however, spelled their names differently. The grandfather located in Rockbridge county, W. Va., and later went to Adams county, Ohio, and became a pioneer settler and later the owner of a large tract of land. He and his wife were the parents of the following children Polly, who became the wife of John Williams; Becky, who married a Mr. Ralston; Rose who also married a Mr. Ralston; Margaret, who married Robert P: McClure, a captain in the Ohio State Militia; Eliza, ! who married William P. Breckenridge, a pioneer of Adams county, who is remembered as a great church worker and possessor of a wonderful singing voice which he used to good advantage in the early days in his religious work; Robert A., a farmer of Adams county, and a pioneer breeder of Red Polled cattle; Arthur, who went to California over the plains as a "forty-niner" and met with great success in his search for gold, but when returning home was drowned; and William B. William B. Glasgow was educated in the common schools of Adams county, and passed his life as a farmer, a vocation in which he gained success, becoming the owner of several valuable properties. His first wife died without issue, and he married for his second wife Maria H. McIntire, of Adams county, who died in 1859. They became the parents of the following children: Mary Jane, who married J. J. Kane, of Brown county, Ohio; Dr. Joseph Anderson, now a retired resident of Seaman, Ohio, since 1914, in early lif! e a teacher, and a graduate, 1878, of the Cincinnati Medical college, who for fifteen years was engaged in practice in Highland county; Robert, deceased; Mary Elizabeth, who married J. G. Williams of Seaman, Ohio; William Arthur, who died at the age of twenty-two years ; and S. S., of this notice. During the days that preceded the Civil war, William B. Glasgow was a strong opponent of slavery, and was a member of the Underground Railway. He was a Republican in his political views, but in the latter years of his life was inclined toward the Prohibition party because of his unalterable belief in temperance. While he lived to the age of ninety-one years he had never taken a drink of liquor nor entered a saloon, nor had he ever sworn or used tobacco. Satisfied with his home surroundings, he did not care for travel and it is said that he never rode on a railroad train in his life. He and the members of his family were staunch members of the United Presbyterian church. S. S. Glasgow received his education in the public schools of his native com! munity and resided at home, assisting his father until his marriage, April 7, 1881, to Lathie E. McClure, of Vernon, Ky. Three children have been born to this union: Marion M., who graduated from high school at the age of eleven years, and later secured a teacher's license, went to the county seat alone and earned the money to pay his own hotel bill, entered Miami university in 1900 and received his degree of Bachelor of Arts, August 8, 1904, went to Chicago and secured a position with Sears, Roebuck & company, was subsequently with the Western Electric company and the Bagdad Lumber company as an expert accountant and head bookkeeper for five years, and for the past five years with the American Lumber company of Panama City, Fla., is a Mason and a member of the Presbyterian church; Grace G., residing with her parents, a graduate of Miami university, class of 1907, took the chair of French at the Women's college, Jacksonville, Ill., and remained three years, when her mother! 's health failing, she returned home, occasionally teaching as an extr a; and William Wellington, a graduate of Miami university, went to Chicago, where he was with the Western Electric company and Shaw Walker & company, and is now at St. Paul, Minn., with the Library Bureau company. He married Gladys Jones of Chicago, Ill., and has one child, Grace Marie. After his marriage, S. S. Glasgow settled down in Adams county and remained until 1898, being engaged in farming, saw milling and operating a threshing outfit. He then went to Marion, where for three years he was a salesman for the Huber Manufacturing company, and later traveled through Ohio and Iowa as a representative for the International Harvester company. Returning to Adams county, he farmed and dealt in implements for two years, and following this bought a farm in Oxford township, Butler county, which he conducted and operated five years. At that time he took up his residence at No. 422 E. Church street, and for four years thereafter traveled for the J. I. Case Manufacturing company! in Ohio, Virginia, Kentucky and South Dakota. After three years spent in the latter state, he retired from active labor and has since resided in his comfortable home at Oxford. Mr. Glasgow has always been a public-spirited citizen and during a period of five years acted as street commissioner in Oxford, an office to which he was elected on the Republican ticket. He is a faithful member of the Presbyterian church, having been reared in the teachings thereof, and has reared his own children in that faith. Both he and his wife are held in the warmest regard by their: neighbors and friends.
