DR. GEORGE FLETCHER GLOVER

   Died, in Chuckatuck, Va., on the 7th of April, 1880, Doctor George Fletcher 
Glover, in the 24th year of his age.

   The melancholy tidings of the death of this noble, high-minded and worthy 
young man spread over the surrounding country this morning, and cast a gloom 
of sadness over the faces of numerous friends, the older of whom had known and 
loved him from infancy to his demise.  Those with whom he lived and had been 
intimately associated for several years had feared, ere he arrived to 
senility, a fatal issue of his malady, but really had not anticipated it so 
early.  But alas!  The "wan archer" would not stay his icy grasp, and selected 
this brilliant mark at which to aim his "ruthless shaft".  Ten years only have 
elapsed since Azriel entered his boyhood home and snatched from his youthful 
breast the joy and protection of fond and loving parents, and now, at this 
early day, in the bloom and buoyancy of manhood, he (death), with his sickle 
keen, cuts down him, the only surviving son, with gilded hopes and bright 
promises within his grasp, to rest with loved ones gone before on "Jordan’s 
sunny plains."  But two short years had swiftly sped by since he graduated in 
his profession, and, notwithstanding he was only (as it were) an embryo in the 
healing art, his success and demeanor, possessing as he did sound judgment and 
quick perception, with a kind, genial and amiable character, not only won the 
highest and most flattering medical distinction, but the respect, esteem and 
admiration of all who knew him.  During these few years of lifts career 
humanity, in all phases of suffering, found in him a willing advocate and a 
ready contributor.  No breath of accusation ever dimmed the luster of his 
character nor marred the radiance of his countenance.  He left the world, it 
is believed, without an enemy pure and spotless.  Friends mourn his loss but 
murmur not.  "Tis all with Thee"  L.J.D., ELMWOOD, VA.
