CHWCI(pp. 628, 701-703.):
"Many substantial buildings in Salem and throughout Washington
and neighboring counties bear evidence to the painstaking care which John M.
Colglazier, a well-known building contractor, of Salem, gives to constructive
work entrusted to him. For many years Mr. Colglazier has been one of the
leading contractors in this part of the state and has, therefore, had much to
do with the substantial character of the upbuilding of this community.
"John M. Colglazier was reared a farmer and was educated in the district
schools of his home neighborhood and in Mays Academy at Salem. In his
youth he learned the carpenter trade from his father and all his life has
been actively engaged in building operations in this county, at the same time
carrying on extensive farming operations. Mr. Colglazier remained on the
home farm until his marriage in 1887, after which he bought a farm adjoining
that of his father and there lived until 1906, in which year he moved
to Salem for the better convenience of his contracting business. There he
bought a planing-mill, a valuable addition to his building operations, and is
still profitably operating the same. In addition to the numerous prominent
residences that Mr. Colglazier has erected in Salem and throughout the
county, he has done considerable work in the way of public buildings, the
woodwork in the Salem high school, the I.O.O.F. hall at Hardensburg and
several substantial warehouses being among the structures which bear the
impress of his handiwork.
"Mr. and Mrs. Colglazier are members of the Christian church at Salem
and take a proper part in the various beneficences of the church, being
interested in all movements looking to community betterment, and they and
their children are highly esteemed by their many friends. Mr. Colglazier
has propered and is counted among the most substantial citizens of Washington
county. He is a Republican and for years has been actively interested
in the political affairs of the county, having served for two terms as
chairman of the Republican county central committee. He is an alert, energetic
and enterprising business man and enjoys the full confidence and the
utmost regard of his business associates and the community in general."
I remember that he had several fingers partially missing do to carpentry
accidents.
