     Frank P. Glazier, attorney-at-law and abstractor in Fort Wayne, was born in Mexico, Miami County, Indiana, January 2, 1867. His parents were Harlow and Eliza (Chapman) Glazier. After receiving his education in the public schools of his native place and at Wabash, Indiana, he began his active course in business as an employee in the factories of Mexico and Wabash, to the latter of which the family moved in 1882. Having qualified himself for the duties of deputy recorder of the county, he was appointed to that place in 1900 and filled it satisfactorily for four years. In 1905 he came to Fort Wayne and became associated with the Dreibelbiss Abstract Company, where he has remained until the present time. Mr. Glazier has made a study of law as it relates to real estate and has been admitted to the bar of Allen County, his practice being confined to the branch of law in which he has specialized. He was married June 30th, 1908 to Elizabeth T., daughter of Francis and Marion (Stirling) Burgess. They are members of the Presbyterian church. Mr. Glazier is a member of the Masonic and I.O.O.F. fraternities, in the former of which he has attained the thirty-second degree of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite.

           BURGESS
   Mrs. Marian Thompson Burgess, wife of Francis Burgess, died at 2 o'clock this morning at the family home, 714 West Jefferson street, at the advanced age of 85 years. The husband is one of the veteran shopmen of the city, now employed by the Wabash company. Mrs. Burgess' death was due chiefly to the infirmities of age. She had been for many years in frail health, and during the past four months had declined so rapidly that her death had been expected at almost any time. The end came most peacefully. The deceased was born in Dumblaine, Scotland, April 1, 1821, and came with her parents to America in 1853, settling in Buffalo, N.Y. Here she was united in marriage to Mr. Burgess in December, 1859, the husband bringing his bride at once to Fort Wayne, where the family has since resided. Surviving members of the family are the husband and one daughter, Miss Elizabeth Burgess. Mrs. Burgess had been for many years a devoted member of the First Presbyterian church. Funeral services from the residence Friday afternoon, Rev. Dr. Moffat and Rev. H. B. Master officiating. Internment in the family plot at Lindenwood.

   Marion Stirling's Daughter Elizabeth T. Burgess, ca. 1864
Marion Stirling, John Stirling’s sister was born on April 12, 1821 in Dunblane, Scotland to parents George and Elizabeth Stirling [01]. While in Scotland, Marion lived with her parents and worked as a spinster in the textile industry [02][03]. At the age of 32, she immigrated to America with her family aboard the Steamship Glasgow, arriving in New York in August of 1853 [04]. The family located in the Buffalo New York area where she met her husband, Francis Burgess, also from Scotland, and they were married in December of 1859. Shortly thereafter, Francis and Marion moved to Ft. Wayne, Indiana where they had their only child, daughter Elizabeth T. Burgess about 1862. Francis Burgess worked as a machinist for the railroad, and the family appears on the 1870, 1880 and 1900 Ft. Wayne censuses [05][06][07]. At the age of about 46, daughter Elizabeth was married to Frank P. Glazier on June 30, 1908. Frank became a well respected abstractor and real estate lawyer in the Ft. Wayne area, and was a 32nd degree Mason [08].

In her later years, Marion Stirling was in frail health and died peacefully at her home on February 2, 1906 at the age of 85, and she was interred in the family plot at Lindenwood Cemetery next to her mother and brother John [09]. Marion’s husband Francis lived to be 90 years old and passed away in the home of his daughter in 1920 [10], and their only daughter Elizabeth Glazier passed on in the family home in 1938 at the age of 76 leaving no descendents behind [11].
