From The Western North Carolina Times - March 27, 1903 -
"Mr. J. D. Glass was summoned to help take the prisoner to jail and he and Deputy Faucette had placed him behind the prison bars before midnight. Mr. Blair was perhaps about sixty years old. He was a native of Pittsylvania County, Va., and had only been a resident of this county about ten years. His niece, Miss Sallie Walker, was his housekeeper, and taught school in the neighborhood. She was about 25 years old, and was devoted to her aged uncle.
Her remarkable nerve and presence of mind have been the subject of general comment on the streets and elsewhere."

(obit may be from the Times-Dispatch) -
IN MEMORIUM.
After a few months illness from heart disease. Mrs. John A. Glass died at her home in Reidsville, N. C.. on March 12, 1927. She was laid to rest in the cemetery at Mt. Hermon church in the presence of a host of relatives and friends.
Mrs. Glass, formerly Miss Sallie E. Walker of Whitmell, Va., was born July 15, 1865. She chose teaching for her life work, and taught. many years, first in Virginia and later in North Carolina, before and after her marriage, which took place in December, 1904.
Mrs. Glass was a woman of great intellectual depths. Her work as a teacher won administration. “She was the best teacher we ever had." was a common expression.
She was ever kind to all with whom she came in contact.
Our hearts go out in sympathy to the bereaved.
She leaves to mourn her loss a husband, one son, John Sidney, of the First National Bank, Reidsville, three sisters, one brother and a host of friends.
To the writer a great loss is sustained. Having known her nearly thirty years, a classmate and room mate in college, no more valuable friend lives than was she."
A CLASSMATE.
