Biography

NoteBaptized Ludwig David
Birth8 November 1866Louis David Glasser was born on 8 November 1866 in Easton, Northampton County, Pennsylvania.
Baptism25 November 1866He was baptized on 25 November 1866 at St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church in Easton, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. Parents Carl and Margaret Glaser
Child Ludwig David
Sponsors: David and Caroline Löffler
Jacob and Susan Bauer1
Marriage1 October 1889He and Carrie May Kays were married on 1 October 1889 at First United Church of Christ in Easton, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, Lewis D. Glaser and Carrie M. Kays were issued Marriage License No. 1658.
Lewis D. Glaser of Easton, age 21 years, 11 months and 20 days
Carrie M. Kays, of Easton, 20 years 7 months, 26 days.

Since Carrie was a minor, the consent of William H. Mellick, Guardian, was obtained.

1 Oct 1889, they were married by H. M. Kieffer, Minister of the Gospel.
Divorce22 August 1891He and Carrie May Kays were divorced on 22 August 1891. Louis filed divorce proceedings in July 1891. In one part of the record, he says they had lived together as man and wife about 10-11 months, which would be Aug/Sept of 1890, a year before the divorce. In another part of the record, he says they lived as man and wife until May 11, 1891.

At the time the constable served the divorce subpoena on Carrie, in July, she was pregnant.

Carrie had Charles H. Glasser/Glosser in Dec 1891, although that date is calculated from the death certificate, so it depends on the knowledge of his son Fred, the informant on the death certificate. Census and draft card dates show a variety of different years, although the Dec 31 date seems to be a constant.

It appears that the Northampton County courts held Charles J. Kemmerer legally responsible as the father of the child. See the attached fileS for the F&B charges.
