Judge J. T. Glover was about sixty years of age, and through his whole life there was not a discernible blot upon his revered character. He was noted for his generosity, gentleness and his devotion to Christ. Tis sad indeed to lose such a man, but knowing him as well as your humble servant, I know he is "at rest." Our hearts go out in love and sympathy to his bereaved family and relatives. S. /P/ We are pained to announce the death of Judge James T. Glover, which occurred at the residence of Dr. W. O'Daniel, near Bullard's Station, in Twiggs county, early yesterday morning. Judge Glover had been to Atlanta, where he was seized with bilious fever. He started home, but could not reach it, and stopped with Dr. O'Daniel. His condition became rapidly worse, until Saturday night, when it became evident that there was no chance for him. He was one of the mot honored and respected citizens of Twiggs.

Oberry were summoned to Jacksonville, Fla., Thursday by a telegram announcing the sudden death of Mrs. Oberry's brother, Willis Brazeille Glover, whose home was formerly at Hawkinsville. /P/ The information received by the Macon relatives of the deceased was to the effect that he died suddenly and unexpectedly of heart failure. /P/ For a number of years he had been engaged in the dry goods business and was a travelling salesman in that line for the Florida territory. /P/ Mrs. George R. Glover, Miss Henrietta Glover, and Mrs. J. W. Oberry are the members of the immediate family who reside in Macon. Mr. Pitt Glover, formerly of Macon but now of Valdosta, is the only brother of the deceased. Mrs. S. A. Way, of Hawkinsville, is a sister. Willis Glover was 49 years old at the time of his death and his wife survives him. Her home is in Jacksonville. /P/ The Glover family were originally from Twiggs county and the Brazeille name was a family name of Mrs. George R. Glover. WIllis Glover was reared from childhood in Hawkinsville and was a close friend of a great many of the successful business men of Macon today, who enjoyed his companionship in his youth. He was a strong character, pure minded and set a splendid example in his boyhood for those who were fortunate enough to be associated with him, and there will be many throughout middle Georgia who will be grieved to learn of his death.
