in Mableton called Whispering Pines, is featured in the collection. Homer Alonzo Glore (1874-1944) was a doctor, and his son
Louis Harold Glore (1909-1991) worked at Pullman Company 1926-1946 and then had a law practice with his brother Homer A. Glore

history of the Cobb County Post Office, the Cobb County Justice of the Peace office, legal cases of the Glore & Glore law

are unrelated to the families or to Georgia, such as the Charles Gordon estate ledger (1875-1884) from Edinburgh, Scotland
and an 1882 diary of George S. Paine of Lexington, Massachusetts.
