Captain James B. Glover, a resident of this city for about a quarter century and one of the oldest members of Lincoln post of the Grand Army of the Republic, died at Warm Springs this morning. Mr. Glover had been in poor health for some time and about one year ago it became necessary to send him to Warm Springs. His wife and daughter were at his bedside when death came. The deceased, who was about 62 years of age, came to this city from Pennsylvania, where he enlisted and served with distinction through the Civil war. The body was brought to this city this afternoon and taken to Richards' undertaking rooms and later transferred to the family residence, 128 California avenue.

CAPT. GLOVER ANSWERS THE LAST ROLL CALL
VETERAN OF THE CIVIL WAR JOINS THE GREAT MAJORITY.
TO HAVE SOLDIER'S BURIAL
Brave Pennsylvanian well known in Butte who rose from a corporal to captain in a few months' service will be buried today.
Capt. James B. Glover, of 1,128 California avenue, who had been a resident of Butte since 1884, died yesterday after a lingering illness. The captain was one of the well-known residents of the city and for many years was prominent in the business affairs of the town. Immediately after his arrival in Butte he secured employment as confidential clerk for Gunderson Bros. of Meaderville, which position he held for several years. He was also at one time an employee for the Hennessy company and for four years was one of the deputies in the clerk and recorder's office of Silver Bow county. Eleven years ago the captain had a miraculous escape from death in Meaderville. While crossing one of the railroad trestles in that section, he met an oncoming train. If he remained on the track, he faced instant death. His only salvation was to jump, and he did so, landing in the rocky bottom of the cut which the trestle spanned, breaking both legs and sustaining injuries to his head. Since that time his health has been poor and death finally resulted yesterday morning from the injuries he sustained.
At Gettysburg.
Captain Glover was born in Pottsville, Pa., in 1841 and in 1863 he enlisted in company C of the 194th Pennsylvania volunteers. His rank at enlistment was that of corporal, but the first action of importance his company was engaged in was the battle of Gettysburg. Although wounded, he survived the terrible battle and was promoted to a captain for the bravery displayed on the battlefield. He was a member of the Lincoln post, Grand Army of the Republic.
During the time the members of the family have resided in Butte they have ranked with the prominent residents of the camp and the old gentleman had a wide circle of friends, who all mourn with his family in its bereavement. His immediate relatives are his widow, his son, A. W. Glover, who has charge of the Dreibelbis drug store on North Main street; a daughter, Miss Juanita, who is employed as a stenographer in the A. T. Morgan office. Mrs. Alfred Congdon, wife of a prominent grocer, is another daughter, and a son, James Glover of Fairbanks, Alaska, is the other member of the family. The funeral will be held this afternoon at the family home, 1,128 California street, Rev. E. J. Groeneveld having charge of the ceremonies. The burial will be in the Grand Army plot in Mt. Moriah cemetery and the members of Lincoln Post will have charge of the ceremonies at the grave.
