HERSCHEL GLOVER, proprietor of the Alamorio blacksmith shop, near Brawley, came
to Imperial County, August 7, 1911, and was born in Independence, Missouri,
September 5, 1864, the son of James and Jeanette (Brite) Glover. Mr. Glover is
one of the progressive and influential citizens of Imperial County. He is
interested in all big, broad and worthy issues of the day and is a factor in
county development. The Glover family is of old Kentucky stock, members of whom
were among the pioneers of Missouri and Kentucky. Captain Brite, one of Mr.
Glover's ancestors, did valiant service during the Revolutionary war. Mr.
Glover's father fought under General Price during the strife of '61 as an
officer. He died in 1871 from the effects of gunshot wounds received during
intense fighting and was buried at Mokane, Missouri. Mr. Glover's mother passed
away in 1870. Her body rests beside that of her husband in Missouri. Thomas, a
brother of Mr. Glover, was killed during the historic battle of Gettysburg. Mr.
Glover was in the service during the Spanish-American war. Mr. Glover received
his education at Chillicothe, Missouri, having been raised from boyhood by a
family going under the name of M. C. Rupert, people who were well known and
highly respected in the community wherein they resided for so many years. He
left school at the age of 18 years. Starting out in life, Mr. Glover followed
the trade of a machinist for three years, during which time he was actively
connected with the Missouri Pacific Railroad, with headquarters at St. Louis.
Later he returned to Chillicothe, where he established himself as a machinist
and blacksmith, carrying on the business successfully until he came to the
coast, where he worked in the machine shops at Randsburg, California. Coming to
Imperial Valley, Mr. Glover established his present remunerative business, which
is one of the most commodious concerns of its kind in the county. Mr. Glover is
popular in his community and is held in high esteem. As a result his business is
thriving nicely and will continue to do so indefinitely as Mr. Glover is a man
of his word, ambitious, an upright citizen, and in every quarter is referred to
as a most dependable and worthy factor in the development of Imperial County. He
is active in silver, copper, lead and other mining interests. When he votes he
always attaches his mark to the ballot opposite the man most deserving, and is
not swayed by party politics. Fraternally he is a member of the I. O. O. F.,
having been affiliated with the order for twenty-seven years. Mr. Glover was
married at Bloomfield, Missouri, April 3, 1880, to Miss Mildred Bagby, who died
in 1898, and is buried in Cedar City, Missouri. To this union three children
were born: Nettie, wife of H. Black, Callowey, Missouri; Geneva, wife of Leonard
Rumsey, Brawley, California; Ambrose, who died in infancy and is buried in Cedar
City, Missouri. The second marriage of Mr. Glover occurred at Tibet, Missouri,
on January 24, 1901, to Miss Sarah Day, daughter of Samuel H. and Maggie
(Fitzgerald) Day, old settlers in Missouri. Mrs. Glover has a brother residing
in Jefferson City, Missouri. Her father died June 26, 1910. As the result of
this latter union Mr. and Mrs. Glover have six children: Berneta, born in Dixie,
Missouri; Thurman, born at Toledo, Missouri; Edgar, born at Yucatan, Missouri;
Samuel, born at McCredie, Missouri, and Ethel, born at Alamorio, and Roy, born
at the same place. All in all, Mr. Glover has achieved considerable during his
time in Imperial County.
