General Notes: Husband - Hon. Charles Gleim


He was an early resident of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He was a skillful silversmith, and early moved to Lebanon, Pennsylvania, becoming prominent politically and holding the office of sheriff of Lebanon County. From this district he was also elected to the state legislature, afterward moving to Harrisburg, where his death occurred. His political allegiance was given to the Whig party, and through service in the state militia he bore the title of captain, having commanded a company in that body.

He and his wife were Seventh Day Baptists.


General Notes: Wife - Mary Gorgas


As a girl, she had taken vows at the convent at Ephrata, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, but feeling that she could not with clear conscience remain true to them, left the convent to marry Charles Gleim.
