THOMAS W. GLAVEY, of the firm of Glavey Brothers, extensive farmers and
stock-raisers, residing five miles from Dufur, Wasco county, was born in St.
Louis, Missouri, April 17, 1860. He is the son of Thomas and Honor (Welch)
Glavey, natives of County Mayo, Ireland. About 1848 the father came to the
United States and located in New Orleans, and for many years worked on
Mississippi river steamers. He died January 6, 1888, on the Wasco county ranch.
'The mother passed away March 18, 1897.      

Until he was nine years of age our subject was reared in the city of St. Louis,
and the family then removed to Franklin county, Missouri, three years later to
Newton county, coming to Oregon in 1875. Mr. Glavey was educated in the graded
schools of St. Louis, and other district schools in Missouri. The family
remained one year in Portland, Oregon, and then came to the locality where the
brothers now reside. The father settled on a quarter section of land five miles
south of the present site of Dufur. This land was claimed by both the railroad
and the government, and, consequently be never secured a title to the same, but
following his death our subject, Thomas W. Glavey, succeeded in getting a clear
title from the government. Later he filed on a homestead. He remained with his
parents until their death, since when he and his brothers, Michael M. and John,
who are mentioned elsewhere, have added to the original farm and now reside
there. Together they own about fifteen hundred acres, raise considerable stock,
but devote their attention mainly to the cultivation of wheat.
