FOUNDER OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE HELPED BY FREEMASONS

Mary Baker joined her oldest brother in Charleston, South Carolina. In December 1843, she married George Washington Glover. a close friend of her brother.

Brother Glover was an honorary member of the staff of the Governor and was called "Major Glover".

He was a member of St. Andrew's Lodge No. 10 and of Union Chapter No. 3, R.A.M. A few months after the marriage Brother Glover contracted yellow fever and died; he was given a Masonic funeral.

Before he died he requested members of the lodge to help his young bride return to the parental home in New Hampshire.

How well they kept their promise was told by the widow, who wrote in 1892, "Here it is but justice to record they performed their obligation most faithfully."

Some time after arriving at her parental home she gave birth to her only child, George. Later she married Mr. Eddy; there is no record that he was a Mason.
