Elmer and Harold Glover: twins of strong stock.
The Glover twins were born in Bridgewater on September 19, 1887 and were only six weeks old when their parents, Stephen Roscoe and Luella (Bartlett) Glover moved to Plymouth. The boys were two of eight children born to the couple.
In the late 1880's, Bridgewater had eight school districts and nine common schools. There were less than 100 students attending school in the town at the time. John Morrison was Superintendent of Schools, and there were two male teachers and nine women teaching multiple grades.
The family lived on the Dick Brown Road until their move to Cummings Hill Road in Plymouth. The boys, when they were old enough, attended the Sargent School in that section of town. In July of 1913, Stephen Roscoe Glover died. Luella passed away 10 years later, May 20, 1923.
Harold purchased the family homestead and he and his wife, Gladys Woodward of Lower Intervale, lived there until her death in 1938. Gladys and Harold had a daughter, Myrtle Rosamond, born in 1921, who was only 17 when her mother died. Harold and Myrtle later moved to a house he built in 1956, on Texas Hill Road. When Myrtle passed away in 1962, he continued to live alone in the house until his own passing.
Harold worked as a farmer and lumberman, and was an active, strong man. He was hard-working and very healthy, and could only remember two occasions when he was ill enough to warrant hospitalization, and that was when he was young. Harold was a member of the Lower Intervale Grange. He was often seen with his team of oxen pulling a sled of logs to Chase's Lumber Mill in the south end of Plymouth. He lived a long, hard-working life, and on January 23, 1982 Harold Glover passed away at the age of 95.
Elmer Glover was nearly 50 years old when he married Katherine Maria McGinnis on November 30, 1935. She was from Wentworth. On July 27, 1938, they had a son, Alfred S. Glover, who lived only a few days before he passed away on August 1.
In 1953, Elmer and Kate Glover moved to the Baker homestead from their residence on New Hebron Road. Elmer operated a meat business for a time, and later raised poultry to sell. He was a hard-working farmer like his brother, Harold.
In 1976, at the age of 89, he entered the Meredith Health Care Center. His wife moved into the facility to be close to him, although at the time she was not ill.
Like his twin, Elmer was a member of the Lower Intervale Grange and the Durand-Haley American Legion Post of Plymouth. He was a WWI veteran, having served in the US Army, stationed at Fort Devens, Mass. His wife was a member of Baker's River Grange in West Rumney.
The Glover twins celebrated their 90th birthday together at the Meredith Health Care Center, with many friends stopping by to visit and to wish them many happy returns of the day.
Sixth months after celebrating his 90th birthday, Elmer Glover died at the Meredith Health Care Center on March 1, 1978. He was buried in Riverside Cemetery after an impressive military funeral conducted by the Durand-Haley Post No. 66.
