• Notes

  "Glick's Hotel". Operated some years prior to 1854 first by Mr. Glick and later by his widow (grandmother of Abram and Charles). Later still by their mother, Catharine, who afterwards married Andreas Wehrle, father of Charlie Hespeler's wife, Lena. The Hotel was afterwards rented to George Devitt who in the years 1871-73 operated it as "The Devitt House" and in 1874, John Fields was tenant, and the name "The Fields House." Charles Glick ran it as a Temperance House, 1879-81. Le Rue De Commerce, Other Times Other Customs Other Days Other Ways, Winfield Brewster 1954 ____________ AGED HESPELER MERCHANT DEAD Charles Glick Age 85 Found In Little Room At Rear Of Store HESPELER March 12-Charles Glick 85 who operated a shoe and leather store in the town was found dead on the floor of his room at the rear of the store at noon today. His neighbor Fred Rung called Dr. Hutcheson and Chief Wilson and the store was broken into. Rung had visited him at six o'clock last night and he appeared in his usual health. This morning the store was unopened. His neighbor thought he had slept in but when the store still was not opened at noon, nor did he hear the radio as usual, he notified the doctor and police chief and broke the window in the door to gain entrance. Mr. Glick was born in Preston June 17 1851. He came to Hespeler when a child, and Is later years worked as a drygoods clerk for John Braid. This store is now Ptrong's bookstore. Later Mr. Glick opened a clothing store, now part of Guenther's jewellery store. This was called Glick's block. After that in 1906, he opened a shoe store which he has conducted ever since. One sister Mrs. Smith of Pittsburg, Pa., survives. Mrs Anthony Oakes of Preston, widow of the late Dr. Oakes, and Mrs. Wilhelmina Henderson of Seattle are nieces.
