"D. A. Glass Cherishes Land Grant Paper Issued to His Father In 1854
The Grant, Covering Land on Farm Southeast of Town, Was Signed by President Franklin Pierce
One of the most cherished possessions of D.A. Glass, lifetime Knob Knoster resident who will be 84 years old next month, is a yellowed piece of heavy paper signed with the name of Franklin Pierce, President of the United States.
That piece of paper is a land grant made on February 15, 1854, but what gives it value to the retired farmer is that the grant was made to his father, George W. Glass, ten years before he fell in the Battle of Franklin, in Tennessee.
The grant deeds land to George Glass, including "the northwest quarter and the northeast quarter of the southeast quarter and the northeast quarter of the southwest quarter of (Section) Thirteen in Township Forty-five, of Range Twenty-four in the District of lands subject to sale at Clinton, Missouri, containing eighty acres". The tract, which lies southeast of Knob Noster, is now part of a 200-acre farm owned by Rolla Kendrick.
George Glass was the son of Kentuckians and he was born in a covered wagon while his parents were making a trek from the Blue Grass to a Missouri only recently admitted to statehood. He grew to manhood on the family farm south of Knob Noster, marrying Becky Cooper and settling on the land deeded him by the grant now in his son's possession. "That land cost him about 15 or 20 cents an acre", said Alex Glass.
Six children were born to George and Becky Glass on that 80 acre farm, before the Civil War started. When the nation was torn by strife and famed Francis Cockrell, Confederate general and one of Missouri's greatest United States senators, called for recruits, George Glass answered the call. He fought the rest of the war under Cockrell until that terrible battle in Tennessee, where almost as many men died in three hours as died at Gettysburg in three days. It was there that a minie ball left Mrs. Glass the widowed mother of six small children. But it was only the beginning of family tragedy, for just a short time later, four of the children died within a month, of relatively minor diseases that were incurable because there was no one to cure them. Life was hard on the farm, in those days.
But the old unhappiness is gone, now, and it's memory is recalled only by a piece of thick yellowed paper.
D.A. Glass is the last of his family. He speaks proudly of his life in eastren Johnson County, boasts that he has spent all of his nearly 84 years in and around Knob Noster. He now lives quietly at the west city limits with his wife and their adopted son, Walter."
