FRANK
GLIDDEN - JOHN GLIDDEN, an
early settler of Noble county, was a native of Maine.
He received a fair education, took up the study of medicine
and after completing his studies, moved to Ohio, locating at
Marietta, then at several places, and finally near Caldwell,
where he practiced his profession and taught school, until
his death in 1816. He was married to a daughter of
Samuel Allen an old resident of Noble county, who is
said to have erected the first water mill in the county.
They were the parents of three children, Sidney,
James and John. John Glidden, the youngest
son, was born on the day of his father's death, Jan. 16,
1816, the father living just long enough to give him a name.
He was reared and educated in Noble county, learned the
trade of a tailor, which he followed until incapacitated by
the amputation of a finger, and then took up farming.
John and Matilda (Delong) Glidden, were the ten
children: Sidney, Isaac, Nancy, Mary, and Edwin,
deceased; and Emily, widow of J. B. Tilton;
Martha, wife of Milo Stevens, of Kansas;
Frank; Ruth, widow of Lafayette Tilton; and
William, a resident of Muskingum county. Frank
Glidden, the subject of this review, was born in Olive
township, in 1850, where he has always lived. He
received a common school education there and began farming
at an early age, which he continued until 1897, when he
engaged in the oil and gas business. Mr. Glidden
was married May 4, 1873, to Sarah Murdock, a daughter
of Jacob Wells; William; Edwin, farmer; May,
Sidney and James, the last two being deceased.
Mr. Glidden is a member of the Knights of Pythias of
Dexter City.
