Samuel R. Glesey

Samuel R. Glesey, one of the most prominent Democrats in the county, died Monday 
night at Battle Creek, Michigan, where he had gone six weeks ago to recuperate 
his health.  He was fifty-one years old.  A complication of diseases caused his 
death.

Mr. Glesey came into general attention in politics in York county on several 
occasions as a candidate for sheriff.  Though he failed to win this office he 
was always a prominent figure in county conventions of his party, and was 
several times a delegate to state conventions.  He was a school director of 
Shrewsbury for twelve years and a borough councilman for four years, having 
resigned his latter office only recently on account of illness.

Mr. Glesey was engaged in business as a harness maker with his father, John 
Glesey, a former register of wills in Shrewsbury.  Besides his father, he is 
survived by his mother and one sister, Miss Sallie Glesey, in Shrewsbury; 
another, Mrs. William Towson, and a brother, J. K. Glesey of York.
