He was born in England in 1869 and was brought to America when a child of four years. He lived at Ironton, Ohio, until eleven years old and then came to New Castle. Mr. Glover attended the public schools in this city until he reached a proper age to enter the Withrow & Gordon shops, and he continued there until 1892, when he went to Pittsburg. Mr. Glover displayed unusual capacity from the first in his line of work and became so skilled that he was made foreman of the Union Foundry & Machine Works when he reached Pittsburg, although he was then only twenty-one years of age. He remained in that position at Pittsburg for two years and then went in the same capacity to Carrington, Va., where he was at the head of the Carrington Machine Company's works for two more years. Mr. Glover then returned to New Castle in order to accept his present responsible position with the great industry which is a dominating force in the commercial life of New Castle, employing thousands in its various departments and distributing an immense amount of capital that makes prosperity. Mr. Glover is a stockholder in the concern. He is a permanent citizen and has investments in this city, in 1904 having erected his handsome residence at No. 165 Shaw Avenue.
In 1889 Mr. Glover was married to Miss Emma Williams, who was born and reared at New Castle. She is a daughter of Harry Williams of this city. Prior to her marriage, Mrs. Glover was a popular teacher in the Central public school. They are members of Trinity Episcopal Church, and Mr. Glover has served as a vestryman for several years. He is a Knights Templar Mason and belongs to the Lodge of Perfection of New Castle and to the Shrine at Pittsburg.
