1914: CENTENNIAL OF WORLD WAR I.

1914 MARKS THE CENTENNIAL OF THE START OF WORLD WAR I. 
There will be a number of World War I posts on this website during this centennial year of the start of  what was known as "The war to end all wars."
My brother, the late William"Bud" Glover was a Hamilton High class of 1945 classmate of Don Whiteley who has a fabulous website (donremembers.blogspot.com) dedicated to Yardville Heights wherein he recalls memories of growing up in that beautiful elevated community on the banks of the Crosswicks Creek. The news article above would be Don's dad, who was among those who went into World War I military service, along with David McGalliard, another family with an historic heritage.

1917: CLIFFORD WHITELEY ANSWERS THE CALL TO ARMS

This graphic is from the Hamilton Library's "WWI" folder. Clifford Whiteley is a relative of Yardville Heights historian Don Whiteley, a classmate of brother Bud Glover in the Hamilton High class of '45. This is another example of our goal to achieve "Local History With a Personal Touch;"

posting familiar local family names and at the same time preserving them in the Hamilton Library's Local History Digital Database.

To my friend, Don Whitely:
Here's another photo of your dad to go with an earlier post.
((Don's very interesting blogs are in links on the right side of this page. Check them out. They are really an interesting history of the Yardville-Yardville Heights area of Hamilton; especially his journal of growing up in the Heights.))
