CHARLES A. GLOVER, farmer, Sec. 3; P. O. Onalaska; was born in England in 
1848; emigrated with his parents to the United States in 1859, and came direct 
to La Crosse, where he lived with his parents until he was 14 years of age, 
when his mother died; and, soon after, his father returned to England, leaving 
him to take care of himself, and so he rented a farm and worked the same one 
year, after which he worked for other parties until he was 17 years old, when 
he enlisted in Co. B, 53d W. V. I., and served about six months, when, the war 
being over, he was discharged. After the war, Mr. G. returned to La Crosse Co. 
and worked on a farm one year, when he purchased a farm of 80 acres in Eau 
Claire Co., and lived on the same about eighteen months; then he sold out, and 
purchased 80 acres of his present farm, but has since added to it, so that he 
now owns 200 acres; has been a member of the Town Board one year, and is a 
Republican in politics. In 1866, he was married to Martha French, daughter of 
Joseph and Charlotte French. They have two children - Martha E. and George.
