St. Louis Globe-Democrat (St. Louis, MO), February 22, 1887
Biography
Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Glover attended the public schools of his native city and Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. He studied law and commenced practice in St. Louis.
Glover was elected as a Democrat to the Forty-ninth and Fiftieth Congresses (March 4, 1885 – March 3, 1889).
In February 1887, Glover married Katherine Augusta Patten, one of five sisters who were heir to their late father Edmund's gold mining fortune, at her family's mansion in Washington, D.C.[1] The society wedding was attended by Nevada Senator Charles Manderson, California Senator Leland Stanford, California Senator-elect George Hearst, New York Senator-elect Frank Hiscock and their wives.[2] After the death of his wife's mother Anastasia in September 1888, they began a prolonged legal battle with her sisters over her share of the inheritance.[3] One of the outcomes was the 1897 United States Supreme Court ruling on Glover v. Patten which set the precedent for waiving attorney–client privilege where it relates to discussions of intent between the author of a will and their lawyer.[4]
Glover was not a candidate for renomination in 1888, having become a candidate for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, in which he was unsuccessful. He then returned to the practice of law in St. Louis, Missouri, until 1909, when he moved to Denver, Colorado, and continued the practice of his profession until incapacitated by ill health in 1926. He died aged 77, in Pueblo, Colorado, October 20, 1929.
