feltv died in 1898, much respected,
leaving handsome estate. The
Reformed church lost in him a firm
friend. Harriet was the wife of
Samuel Griffith, of an old Somerset
county family. They went west
many years ago, leaving a family
not much remembered or known.
Alkaline became the wife of PhiEeas
Compton, who died on the Boucher
estate in Maryland 1858, and his
wife in 1888. They had three
children, Samuel, the oldest, learn
ed the timer trade, but in later
years embarked in the milling
business from which he recently
retired, and is now living very
much at his ease as one of Elk
Lick's most respected citizens.
Lucretia was the wife of Isaiah
Boucher, one of Garrett county's
prominent men; she died on the
last day OF 1888, and lies in the old
Salisbury cemetery on the hill.
Only in July last the willing hand
that gives life to these lines tenderly
laid few stray flowers upon her
mound which is marked by beau
tiful monument from her low (
family; an excellent lady in every
way. Lydia, the youngest, was the
wife of DR.. Henry Stewart, who
died several years ago in Illinois,
she survives. Jerry like the rest,
was a smith, but went into
other business in early life, too
many sons for one shop. His wife
was the daughter OF that very good
old man Peter Welfey (once the
teacher of the writer.) The two
raised large family in Greenville
township. One of the sons Is the
custodian of the old Bible referred
to.
"Davld got the family trade in
the same manner as the other
brothers, bat he went to farming
on the old homestead in early life,
and continued till late years when
age admonlshed him he had done
enough of this busy worlds tolls.
He is now IN comfortable and hon
orable retirement in Salisbury, the
only survivor of eight children of
Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Glotfelty. Saw
him last summer in the depth of
sorrows, flowing from the fresh loss
of his wife. He justly enjoys the
respect of all who know him. Mi
chael, after marrying the daughter
of Abraham Maust, went to Iowa
about the time her statehood began,
and died in the year 1878. The
widow is living. One of their sons,
Nelson, was the husband of Aman-
da Compton. He died within the
last year. Elizabeth was first the
wife of Jerry Keim, who died IN
the year 1878. She afterwards
married Israel Welfey. John, the
Joseph of the family had a training
similar to the other sons-followed
the trade in shop of his own for
some years; then went into the
mercantile business; has been dead
since 1884. His wife was the
daughter of Michael Dively. They
raised large family. Urbannus,
promising son, was killed in the
Union army in the terrible battle
in front of Richmond in 1862-a
brave boy, a good son. Jacob
Glotfelty died in 1867 and his wife
in 1858.
F|The Glotfelty race as a rule is
noted for industry, honesty and
, amiability, and its long and ample
record is a fair one in all respects.
1t is to be regretted that no data
, sufficiently reliable could be pro-
cured of the five daughters of Solo.
, mon Glotfelty, perhaps later on i;
may.
I am under obligations to Mr..
Samuel Compton, one of the worthy
descendants, for valuable family
= records, also to ex-senator B. Wei
fey, for like fayors.
