Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, 3rd ed., 1886. Allen County. LAWRENCE A. GLAZE, M. D., was born in Washington County, Tenn., June 5, 1852. His father, William B. Glaze, is a native of the Old Dominion, born in 1817; he emigrated from Virginia when a young man; he married Elizabeth Clark, of Newport, Coke Co., Tenn., and afterwards located in Washington County, that State, where he now resides, and has, during the latter portion of his life, been a dealer in general merchandise. Mrs. Elizabeth Glaze died in the year 1878. Lawrence Glaze, the grandfather of Dr. Glaze, was a native of Ireland. He and his wife came to America at an early day with a "band of pilgrims," who left their native country to avoid the persecutions against them. They settled in New York, where Mrs. Glaze soon after died, leaving no issue. He subsequently married Ella Wilson, who was kidnapped in Ireland by some Dutch traders, who brought her to America and sold her to him for the sum of twenty-five cents. After his second marriage Lawrence Glaze removed to Tennessee and bought 2,800 acres of land on Nola Churky (very swift) River; he constructed a dwelling of canes, they being the most available mterial; these he planted in a circle, and joining the tops, covered this framework with the skins of animals. This served for a dwelling for several years. It was situtated on a stream called Boone's Creek. His death occurred in 1847, on the day preceding the death of his wife. The early life of Dr. Glaze was spent in school; he attended Ewing and Jefferson College, in Blount County, Tenn.; afterward Tusculum College, in Greene County, where, in the year 1868, he took the degree of Bachelor of Sciences. In 1870 he went to Indiana and read medicine one year. On the 27th of September, 1872, he married Mary Baird, a daughter of Hon. J. F. Baird, of Gibson County, Ind. She is a lady of rare attainments, and was educated at St. Mary's College, near Terre Haute, Ind. To them were born two daughters: Birdie and Willie. After marriage Dr. Glaze removed to Tennessee, where he continued the study of medicine, and graduated after a two years' course in Vanderbilt University, at Nashville; he received the degree of M. D. in 1880 from the "Vanderbilt," and also from the University of Tennessee. He graduated with high honors, and received a gold medal for excellence in general pathology; he immediately began the practice of his profession, which he has followed with uniform success.
