Hon. P. T. Glass. Among the most distinguished and respected citizens of
\nLauderdale County stands Hon. P. T. Glass, born in Halifax County, Va.,
\nOctober 18, 1824. He was brought to Weakley County when only four years old,
\nand educated at Dresden Academy; then attended the law school at Lexington,
\nKy., and was admitted to the bar in 1847, forming a partnership with Hon.
\nEmerson Etheridge. From youth he has held the confidence of the public and of
\nfriends. When only eighteen he was colonel of the militia, and since then has
\nfaithfully served the people as magistrate and chairman of the county court;
\nrepresented his district in the Legislature, and in the Forty-ninth Congress,
\nbeing elected over Emerson Etheridge by a sound Democratic majority. The
\ninterests of the people, opposition to monopolies and faith in the
\nintelligence and virtue of the masses, have been his guide in all legislation.
\nIn 1848 he married Sarah C. Partee, who was born April 3, 1831, and two sons
\nwere born to them. She died in 1852, and in 1855 he married Maria Partee, a
\ncousin of his first wife. Two daughters was the result of this union, and
\nafter their mother died Mr. Glass married, in 1868, Susan T. Barbee. His
\nfirst two wives and himself were Missionary Baptists, his present wife a
\nMethodist. During the war, Mr. Glass served the Confederacy four years in the
\ncommissary department with rank of major. When not serving the public he has
\nengaged in farming and the mercantile business, having been a merchant at
\nRipley for twenty years.<\/p>\n
