Death of Mr. Henry Glazier.

  Mr. Henry Glazier, one of Huntingdon's oldest citizens, died at his 
residence, corner of Third and Washington streets, a few minutes after 
twelve o'clock Sunday morning, after an illness of about a fortnight, 
at the patriarchal age of 82 years.
  The deceased was born in Huntingdon, July 1, 1806, and having learned 
the trade of a potter in the shop of his father, in 1831 he commenced 
the manufacture of stoneware, in which business he continued until his 
supply of clay run out, when he was obliged to close his works.  In 
1854 he was elected Register and Recorder of this county and served two 
terms.  Many years ago he was appointed Notary Public, which office he 
held at the time of his death.  A family of nine children survive him, 
as follows: John H. and C. Harry, of this city; Horace, of 
Philadelphia; Mary, Ellen, Julia, Phoebe and Hattie, of this city, and 
Mrs. Alice Musser, wife of J. H. Musser, of Harrisburg.
  For a long series of years, Mr. Glazier was an elder in the 
Presbyterian church, and was an upright Christian gentleman, honored 
and respected by all who knew him.  Like a sheaf of wheat ready for the 
harvest, he has been cut down and his spirit garnered in the storehouse 
of heaven.
