History article written for the GFHS website,Building Snohomish County . . . a Piece at a Time Wendy Becker of the Snohomish County Department of Economic Development forwarded us a request last week that came from a gentleman in Auburn. He mentioned that he is the great- grandson ofa couple fellows who had served Snohomish County in the early 20th Century. His great—grandpa Charles Glover was a civil engineer involved in bridge and road construction throughout the county, and served as 3 Snohomish County Commissioner in the 19305. His great— grandpa Dan Guisinger owned a union barber shop in Everett and served in the State Legislature in the late 19305. Their great—grandson was trying to gather additional information for the family archives, and mentioned that he had some pictures of Snohomish County that likely had never been seen publicly before (which he’d be willing to share). So, Wendy asked if we were likely to be able to pull anything from our archives. Glover was briefly referenced in our regular museum collection, but automated searches of the 1906 and 1927 histories of Snohomish County turned up empty. However, in searching our newspaper archives electronically, a number of articles popped up with references to both men. Most of the articles were of a political nature (they weren’t really "local" to Granite Falls, but political candidates needed to garner votes where they could).
