General Notes: Husband - Richard Gladden

---

He was born in Cecil town-ship, Washington County, Pennsylvania, in a house which was used as a fort in colonial times. He began married life on the farm in Cecil township, consisting of 200 acres of well-cultivated land. He was engaged in the dairy business, and three oil wells were in operation on the place. In politics he was a Republican, and in religion he and his wife were members of the U. P. Church at McDonald, Pennsylvania.

He went to the public schools in early boyhood and from there to Oakdale Academy and had further advantages at the West Philadelphia Academy. After his school days were over he engaged in farming and continued in agricultural pursuits for a number of years. Prior to settling permanently at McDonald, he spent a year in travel in California. Mr. Gladden continued to own his farm of 200 acres which was situated in Cecil Township. He had other large investments and was a director in the McDonald Savings and Trust Company; a stockholder in the First National Bank at McDonald; a stockholder in the Warner Glass Company, and was vice-president of the Water and Light Company at McDonald.
