An Illustrated History of the State of Washington, by Rev. H.K. Hines, D.D., The Lewis Publishing Co., Chicago, IL., 1893, pages 342-343 WILBUR S. GLASS, a member of the law firm of Hyde, Glass & Reagan, Spokane, Washington, was born at Le Roy, below Rochester, New York, in 1852, son of Chester F. and Mary (Brown) Glass. His father was a native of the Empire State and was by occupation a contractor and builder. Wilbur S. is the youngest in a family of three children. His parents having moved to Illinois when he was quite young, he received his early education in the public schools of that State and afterward attended the Illinois State University at Champaign and took a law course at Ann Arbor, Michigan. He was admitted to the bar in Illinois, in June, 1878. In 1880 he moved to South Dakota and located at Watertown, where he remained until September, 1891. He then spent a short time at Minneapolis, Minnesota, and in 1892 came to Spokane. In February of this year he became a member of the firm with which he is now identified, and although a recent acquisition to this city he has made many friends here. A Republican in politics, he is devoted to the principles of protection and is thoroughly in accord with his party in all its living issues. Mr. Glass is quiet and unassuming in his manner, and is withal a perfect gentleman. His many friends at Spokane and elsewhere will watch with interest his future career. Submitted to the WA.
