Walter T. Glover, postmaster of Windsor, was born in Indiana Territory, May 21, 
1816. William Glover, his father, a blacksmith by trade, was born in Virginia in 
1783. During the latter years of his life he was a prominent member of the 
county court of Barren County, Kentucky. He died at the age of eighty-eight. The 
mother of Walter was formerly Charity Wilson, born in Virginia. They moved to 
Kentucky and thence to Indiana. When our subject was two years old his father 
removed to Barren County, Kentucky, where he was raised to manhood on a farm, 
receiving a limited education. In 1846 he went to Hancock County, Illinois, and 
bought a farm, upon which he remained until 1868. Selling out he came to 
Missouri, and located in Windsor, Henry County, and subsequently entered into the 
drug business with W. B. Pomery, his son-in-law. Thus he remained occupied until 
1875, when he was appointed postmaster, which position he has held since, 
giving general satisfaction. Mr. Glover married Miss Agnes Ray, in 1838. She was 
the daughter of Thomas and Mary (Bullock) Ray, both Kentuckians by birth. Her 
grandmother, Hannah Clark, was a sister of Gov. Clark, of Kentucky, one of the 
most able men of the state, and his sister was noted for her womanly wisdom 
and superior talents. Her husband was Edward Bullock. By the union of Mr. and Mrs. 
Glover they have four children living: Mary E. (Mrs. Lewis Chandler, of Butte 
County, California); Emma G., (wife of W. B. Pomeroy, of Windsor, who died 
November 29, 1879); Susan Emitt, (Mrs. Joshua Hitchcock, of Illinois, who died 
December 9, 1872); William Walter, of Fort Scott, (married Lillie Hurlburt, 
January 2, 1876); Edward Ripley, (now in the express business in Denison, Texas); 
and Alice, born November 2, 1854, and died February, 1856. Mr. Glover in his 
political affiliation is a staunch Republican, and is a substantial member of the 
Congregationalist Church. He is a quiet, unassuming, intelligent man, having the 
entire confidence of the community and discharges his duties in a manner which 
elicits praise from all.
