George W. Glover, III (1889-1980) was born in Nevada Gulch, near Lead, South Dakota, and died in Spearfish, South Dakota. Mary Baker Eddy, his grandmother, planned for one of her students, Charles M. Howe, of St. Joseph, Missouri, to arrange a thorough education for him. George's time in Missouri was short-lived, however, and he soon returned home to South Dakota, where he finished his education at Lead High School. He went on to operate a confectionery store and pool hall in Lead before joining the Homestake Mining Co. as a carpenter. After World War II, he ran the Glover Upholstery and Cabinet Shop until his retirement. He was an active member of the Christian Science church in Lead, where he used his carpentry skills to craft its pews and Readers' desk.
