GLOSENGER, R.C.:
Chapter XXXI Page 1810:

"R.C. Glosenger, in his lifetime a well known general merchant of Hemlolck
Hollow, was throughout the greater part of his active business life
identified with the agricultural and commercial interests of Wayne County.
Of excellent business abilities anad broad resources, he attained a
prominent place among the substantial citizens of his part in the county.
He won success by his well directed, energetic efforts, and the prosperity
that came to him was certainly deserved.

A native of Wayne county, Mr. Glosenger was born in Salem Township, March
21, 1824, a son of John and Mary (Brown) Glosenger, the former a native of
Connecticut, who in his twentieth year came to Wayne County and took up
residence in Salem Township. In their family were the following children:

Cynthia Ann, now a resident of Hemlock Hollow
R.C., the subject of this sketch
William (deceased)
Amanda, who is living in Susquehanna Co., Pennsylvania

On attaining his majority, R. C. Glosenger left home and began the struggle
of life for himself as a carpenter. He was married November 19, 1843, to
Miss Mary Tisdale, of Salem Township, and they became the parents of nine
children, whose names and dates of birth are as follows:

Leonora, August 4, 1845
Charles B., March 4, 1848
Franklin P. (deceased), September 13, 1855
Selina Elecia, November 10, 1858
Emogene, April 23, 1861
Mary Amanda, April 20, 1863
John C., September 3, 1865
Irene, May 24, 1868
Anna B. (no date given)
Irene is now the wife of Joseph Moore of McKean County, Penn
Anna B. is the wife of John Hilts, a merchant of Dover, N.J., by whom she
has two children, Carl Glosenger and Russel.

Soon after his marriage, our Subject purchased a farm in Salem Township,
which he successfully operated for fifteen years. By the government he was
appointed provost marshall in 1861, under Col. Ewell, and acceptably served
in that capacity until the close of the war. He then purchased another
farm, which he conducted for three years, but believing other business would
be more profitable, he removed to Hemlock Hollow, where he opened both a
hotel and a general store. In 1875, however, he again became a farmer, but
at the end of two years, he removed to Scranton, Penn., where for the same
length of time he was proprietor of the "White Horse Hotel." Returning to
his native county, he resumed agricultural pursiuts, which he continued to
follow until the death of his wife, which occurred September 29, 1881. Two
years later he sold his property and returned to Hemlock Hollow where he was
successfully engaged in merchandising, enjoying a liberal patronage.

For his second wife, Mr. Glosenger married Miss Christine Pelton of
Lackawaxen Township, Pike county, a daughter of James L. and Almeda (Harvey)
Pelton, and one child blessed the union, Ethel Almeda, born March 20, 1886.
Mr. Pelton was a native of New York City, and at the age of ten years moved
to Pike County, Penn., eight years later becoming a resident of the city of
Lackawaxen, where he engaged in the hotel business for some time. After
selling his property he was employed by the Delaware and Hudson Canal Co.,
for eight years, and for the remained of his life, engaged in farming. He
died October 21, 1882, and his beloved wife passed away May 21, 1884,
honored and respected by all who knew them.

In politics, Mr. Glosenger was always a staunch Democrat, and ever took an
active interest in public affairs. He most acceptable served as collector
for Salem Township for two years, and for many years was one of the school
directors in paupack Township. He was a member of the Salem Branch of Odd
Fellows for over forty years. To the day of his death, he stood a strong
man, strong to plan and to perform, strong in his credit and good name and a
worth example for the rising generation."

Note: The 1850 census index of Salem, Wayne county, PA lists Robert as "Glossinger" because the census taker's penmanship makes the "e" look like an "i". The 1860 census lists Robert as "Glosenger". His will follows and lists three different spellings.

In the August 17th, 1899 newspaper, The Honesdale Citizen, there is a short "obituary" as follows:
- Robert C. Glossenger died in his home last Sunday after a long and painful illness.
