Harry Glover was born on November 24, 1902 in Vale, South Dakota, USA. He died at home on April 14, 1950.
Glover came to Canada around 1913 and to Princeton around 1918. He lived on Lots Number 1 and 2, Block 20 (Map 55 Plan B4747) in 1950.
He was a horse trainer and “hot-shot horseman,” winning the Princeton Derby at the Dominion Day celebrations in 1936, 1937, and 1938. He also had a pack train – one that he entered in the Dominion Day parade in 1936.
In 1929, he was working at the Budd Ranch. At the Dominion Day races, according to the Princeton Star, he put “up a fine show.” A month later, he was charged with theft of cattle. One was a purebred Jersey heifer belonging to W.D. Williams and the others belonged to Jack Budd.
In September 1940, he guided a party of horseman and horsewomen on a trip from Princeton to Chilliwack.
