 Judge Glover was born n Philadelphia, 3S years ago, singularly at the same hour at which he died. The sudden death sev. eral years ago of his father, Samuel Glover, is still fresh in our memory. The most of his life has been spent in Fair field and his early education was received at the Academy. Later he attended Col Eusseli's military school at New Haven and then entered Yale in the class of '7S, in which he graduated with honor Many of his classmates now occupy prominent 1 positions. His law education was recciv. ed at Columbia Law school. In 1882 he was elected judge of probate, which he has continued to hold ever since. The following year and again in 1889 he rep. resented the town in the Legislature At the session of 1889 he would have been elected speaker, but gave way to his col league. He was made chairman of the judiciary committee, where he did cred liable work. His strict integrity and great ability won for him hosts of admir- CTS at the capitol. In 1889 he was ap- pointed prosecuting attorney for the Court of Common Pleas, criminal side, which position be filled with rare ability. An unusually large percentage of his prosecutions were convicted. Iu town politics, while he was always a staunch republican, his manner and methods won for him hosts of admirers and friends among opposing factions. His untiring
 forts and good management had of late accomplished change in political domi- nation in the town.
