Edmund E. Glover
Eufaula Home Guards
Edmund joined
the Eufaula Home Guards for the duration of the war. He was about 41 years old in
1861 when war was declared. He was the one of the ones that stayed and had the
responsibility of protecting women, children and property that were left alone while
the other men were off on distant battlefields. The Home Guard stood ready to
fight the enemy in their home towns. Not only did he serve his country at home but
he also took care of the legal business needed in everyday life of the families left
behind. Edward is found on many wills and estates in Barbour County, Al. as
the administrator of the estates. The Glover family lost many of their sons
to the war, it had to be very difficult to be the one to console the wives and children,
many of which never saw their love ones again. Edmund's father John P. Glover died
July 9, 1962, his brother Samuel D. P. Glover died in Columbus, Ms. July
17, 1862, John R. Glover died August 29, 1862, James Glover died Nov. 24,
1862. Edmund must have been a very strong man with broad shoulders to
have carried such a burden.
