    F. H. GLESSNER, editor of the Hancock Courier, Findlay, was born in
Delaware, Ohio; son of Lewis and Georgiana (Cowles) Glessner, natives of
Pennsylvania and Ohio, respectively. In 1861 Lewis Glessner came to Findlay with
his family from Delaware County and purchased the Hancock Courier, which he ably
carried on till his death in 1879. He had learned the chair-making business, and
later engaged in farming and stock raising in Delaware County, which he carried
on till coming to Findlay. He reared a family of five sons and four daughters,
of whom William L. is publisher of the Recorder at Americus, Ga.; Leonard C. is
publisher of The Earth at Sedalia, Mo.; Douglas is publisher of the News at
Griffin, Ga.; Fred H. is editor and publisher of the Hancock Courier. Edward,
the second son, a member of the Fifty-seventh Ohio Volunteer Infanty, died of
wounds received at the battle of Kenesaw Mountain. The mother is living with her
daughters and is proprietor of the Hancock Courier; she is a worthy woman and
mother, and an ardent worker for the Ladies' Benevolent Society in Findlay. Fred
H., our subject, was reared to the profession of journalism, and after his
father's death took charge of the paper, which he has ably conducted since. He
has always been a public spirited and progressive citizen, and has contributed
in no small degree to the advancement of the social and industrial life of his
locality. He assisted in the organization of the Findlay Natural Gas Company,
and served as its secretary, and upon the second year of its existence as its
president. Mr. Glessner is an active member and secretary of the Findlay
Improvement Company. He was united in marriage at Findlay, in 1872, with Ara A.,
daughter of Henry Isham, Esq., of Findlay.
