Kentucky: A History of the State, Perrin, Battle, Kniffin, 8th ed., 1888, Jefferson Co. ALBERT G. GLOVER, the subject of this sketch, is a son of the late William E. Glover, who was a very remarkable man. The elder Glover was born in 1801, at the mouth of the Limestone river, in Kentucky. He is therefore the descendent of "the Maysville man," and the "Maysville man" is known the world over. When the Prince of Wales visited New York he was very naturally well entertained, at the suggestion of the President of the United States. There was some excitement on the occasion about a popular Broadway hotel as Col. R. C. Wintersmith and Col. John Thompson Gray walked the street that day. Col. Gray said "What's going on?" Col. Wintersmith replied that it was a demonstration in honor of the Prince of Wales. Col. Gray said, "Well, there will be a man from Maysville conspicuous in the demonstration," and sure enough, they found, when they reached the St. Nicholas Hotel, that Gen. "Bull" Nelson was in the carriage with Albert Edward, the Prince of Wales. Kentucky is the birthplace of many great and good men, and Maysville can claim her share of the best of them. Albert G. Glover was born in Louisville, December 14, 1847, and received his education in the private schools of that city. His first venture was with his father in the tobacco commission and warehouse business, until his father retired upon a competency. Albert then became associated with his brothers and Dr. D. P. White in the same business in which he had been engaged with his father, and they were owners of the Boone Tobacco Warehouse. In 1873 he withdrew from this firm and engaged in the manufacture of chewing and smoking tobacco upon a large scale. In 1877 he abandoned that business and became a handler and transferrer of leaf tobacco. Although these have been his well known occupations, he has been engaged in many public enterprises, and has done much to develop the business prosperity of the city. While he has never sought any prominence, he is regarded as a man of the highest and strictest honor, and, in that respect, is a fair representative of the name of Glover, which is the synonym of all that is honorable and upright.
