He remained on the farm in his native county until he was eighteen years of age, at which time he emigrated to this county with his father's family, who settled in Liberty Township, where his father had purchased 320 acres of unimproved land.

Our subject resided with his father until his marriage, which occurred November 8, 1852, with Miss Margaret Porter, daughter of Robin Porter, who was born in Mahoning County, Ohio.

After marriage they settled in Liberty Township, where they lived three years, then removed to Harrison Township, and came to his present farm in 1870, where he owned fifty acres of improved land.

Mr. and Mrs. Glass have one child - Arena, wife of Jacob Thompson, residing in Liberty Township. Mr. and Mrs. Glass are members of the Christian church, and politically Mr. Glass is a Democrat.
