MAJOR GLOVER IN CHARLESTON

Editor—Charleston, S. C.

The Evening Post

[Our readers will recall that Mrs. Eddy spent a short period of her early life in Charleston, S. C., and they will be interested in the following item from a late issue of one of the newspapers of that city.—Editor Sentinel.]

The series of articles appearing in a leading magazine on the life of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, the head of Christian Science, has stirred the people of this sect to devote attention to the history of the Founder of the Church, and the Charleston Scientists have shown themselves no exception in the matter of study and research.

As a result of the efforts of a local committee the fact has been established that Mrs. Eddy's first husband, Mr. G. W. Glover, was a resident of Charleston for some years, his name appearing in the directories of that time, extending over a period from I839 to I842. The local committee has investigated the subject fully, and it developed that Mr. Glover came to Charleston from Boston in the later thirties, returned to Boston and married Miss Mary Baker, and with her came to Charleston, where Mr. Glover engaged in his profession as a building contractor.
