WILSON F. GLATFELTER, son of William and Catherine (Flinchbaugh) Glatfelter, was born December 
19, 1860, in Hopewell Township, and reared on his father’s farm.  He received his education in 
the public schools of his native township.  He went to his trade in 1878 and worked journey 
work until 1884, when he embarked in the furniture business in Dallastown.  He carries a large 
stock of goods in his line, and manufactures all kinds of furniture to order.  His store-room 
and building is the largest and most attractive house in Dallastown, located in the center of 
the town, and although he began business within the last year, he is doing a large trade in 
York and surrounding townships.
