Glover in the winter Of 1S43 at the
home Of her father. They went south
Immediately and lived in Charleston
and Wilmington, Del. where Glover
was stricken with yellow fever and
died a few months after his wedding.
| After her husbands death, Mrs.
Glover is said to have freed all his
slaves before her return as a widow
to the TiltOn, N. H., home of her
| father.
Thee months after her husbands
| death their child, George W. Glover,
was born. The young mother was too
feeble to nurse the child herself, and
| for long time her life was despaired
! Of. George w. Glover later was one
! Of the children who participated in
court proceedings that resulted in
J Mrs. Eddy making a special settle
ment for her son and his family.
There was much change in the Til
! ton home soon after Mrs. Glover's
arrival. Her mother died and her
father married again. Her brother
| George married and removed to Balti-
| more. The young widow opened a
! school for children that was short
! lived, and then her son was taken
away from her by the nurse, who
! married a GrotOn man, who lived
! thirty miles away. The boy was then
5 years Of age and had spent much
! of his bOyhOOd with his nurse.
! For three years more Mrs. Glover
! lived with her married sister Abigail.
/ Then Dr. Daniel Patterson, a dentist,
] rn1 OF IL r+r il-ir
! figure for a country town, always APP
pearing in clothes of the latest fash
! ion, his hands always in gloves and
! a silk hat always on his head. He
proposed to the young widow and was
/ accepted. Mrs. Eddy has since writ
/ ten that the marriage was unfortu-
! nate. She said that she married Pat
/ ersOn to get possession of her child,
/ BUT she did not gain possession of
him.
Dr.. Patterson finally left Lynn.
Mrs. Patterson said that he was ac-
! cOmpanied by the wife of a prominent
/ lynn business man. He returned to
SIX forgiveness but his wife told him
that the same roof could not shelter
them both and he left, to go out of
err life for all time. He wandered
9 bout New England and finally be-
came a hermit at SacO, Me-, where
be died His wife secured a divorce
on the grounds of desertiOn in 1873

Then there appeared Asa G. Eddy
and there was another perturbation in
the Lynn circle that had gathered

/ was cured by Mrs. Patterson. He
soon took a responsible position among
{ the students of Mrs. Patterson and in
