Notes for WALTER GLADSTONE:
Walter was a life-long
farmer, and came to this country when little more than a boy. As soon as
possible he bought land midway between the centers of Andes and Bovina, and
there reside d till in 1858, when he was nearly fifty years old, he sold the
place, in order to make a new settlement in Gladstone Hollow, a locality named
after his family. There he owned a hundred and fifty acres, which he began to
develop in the best way; but his hopes were blasted by h is death only two years
later, in 1860, just before the outbreak of the Civil War. He and hi s wife

Notes for GEORGE GLADSTONE:
Note: George Gladstone
grew up in Andes, attending the district school, and going to the academy on e
term. On reaching his majority, he began working out by the month -- for F. C.
Armstrong two seasons, and Walter A. Doig one season. He saved his scant
earnings until he was able to marry Helen Strangeway in 1868. In 1868 George
Gladstone bought the estate where he still lives . At first he had only a
hundred acres, but the land has been more than doubled by the addition of the
Gillis farm. As is almost universally the case in this Scotch-American region,
special attention is given by the owner to the dairy, supplied with milk from
thirty fine Jersey cattle, each of which yields upward of two hundred and fifty
pounds of butter every year, prepared for market in buildings arranged
according to the latest ideas. Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone h ave brought up their
four sons in the United Presbyterian church. George was a Republican, an d his
family form the center of a wide-awake circle of friends.
