I received an email from David Thompson who would like to gather information about the history of Glassville. He would appreciate any info or photos any of you might have.
Below is a copy of his email.
Good afternoon. I got your email address from the Glassville United Church Cemetery page. My name is David Thompson. My mother-in-law Edna Millie and my late father-in-law Irvine Millie were born in Glassville, as were there forebears, tracing their roots to the earliest Glassville settlers.

After Irv's interment in 2018 I made plans to build a website to record and preserve Glassville's history and to make it available for the descendants of Glassville families. I have finally gotten my act together and have a site in progress at https://glassville.ca

I would be grateful if you would post about it on your page and note especially that I would like to receive photos for the Memories section. Photos of early families, buildings and showing the way of life in farms and agriculture especially.

I would also like to include a plot map of the cemetery if you know of one. I have also sent a note to Brian McIntosh about that.

Best regards,
David

This morning the steeple and refurbished bell were placed on a pad in front of the cemetery. We plan to do landscaping and the fence this fall, weather permitting.

Progress Report of the Glassville United Church Cemetery:
as of Dec 1,2020

The Glassville United Church and Hall were demolished and the site was cleaned up this Spring. The vault has had a facelift (painted, door repaired and new vents);a concrete pad was poured for the steeple and bell. The church bell has been restored and installed on one of the pads. The steeple has been placed over the bell. However, no restoration of the steeple has been started. A second pad has been poured for displaying the restored church window. Fencing ( donated by another local cemetery) has been installed from the vault, across in front of the 2 concrete pads. Through generous donations and volunteers, this has been accomplished.
The display for the window and the restoration of the steeple will be completed in the spring.
Saying that, more funds will be required to bring this very worthwhile project to completion.
