THE KENTUCKY POST, SATURDAY, AUGUST 31, 1985 - GLASS FAMILY LIT THE WAY INTO A NEW ERA FOR GRANT COUNTY - BY OMER W JOHNSON
It was 11 p.m., time to shut down the electricity plant for the night. The young boy threw the switch and stepped into the pitch black of Williamstown.
The year was 1920, but Henry Glass of Williamstown remembers it as though it were yesterday.
"I was afraid of the dark," he recounted. "I was 14 at the time and it was my job to shut down the generator. When I saw how dark it was, I went back in and turned the electric back on. I stayed until almost 1 a.m. I finally figured that I couldn't stay there all night, so I fixed all the doors just right and set the locks so I could make a fast exit."
Glass, 79, said, "I threw the switch and ran as fast as I could, slamming each door behind me. The lights went out gradually as the generators turned to a stop, and I was able to make it all the way out to the street before the lights went out completely."
The Glass family owned the Williamstown electric system in those days. Glass said, "My dad, Charlie, and his brother, Ed, came from Wilmore Ky., and bought the local mill in 1920. The electric plant was part of the mill."
As near as any one can figure, Williamstown's first electric plant was started in 1912.
Glass said the mill was built by J.M. Riley in 1906. "He had an engine to run the mill, so in 1912 he purchased a generator and ran lines in Williamstown and started the electric service."
Glass said the plant operated from dark until about 11 p.m. except on Saturdays. "We kept the electric on until midnight on Saturdays for the barbers," Glass said.
Glass said there were only two home appliances in those days - fans and irons.
"Thursday was ironing day. We turned the electric on every Thursday morning from 7 to 11 for the women who had electric irons," Glass said.
Glass said there were electric street lights and many of the homes had electric lighting. Electricity was expensive - costing about 10 cents a kilowatt. A minimum bill was $1.50 a month.
Charlie Glass sold the Williamstown mill and plant to Ed Glass in 1924, and then Charlie bought the Dry Ridge light plant.
Henry Glass, his dad and Bill Dunn and Herb Rohrer ran the first electric line from Williamstown to Dry Ridge and then bought the electricity from Ed Glass to sell to Dry Ridge residents.
Charlie Glass then moved the Dry Ridge plant to Corinth in the fall of that year, replacing a plant half the size.
Ed Glass sold the Williamstown plant in 1925 to the Community Public Service Company of Texas. Later it was sold to Texas-Louisiana Light and Power.
Williamstown bought the transmission lines in the city in 1936 from Texas-louisiana Light and Power and thus established its own community system, which it still operates today. It buys its electricity from Cincinnati Gas and Electric Co.
Texas-Louisiana Light and Power eventually sold out to CG&E, Glass said.
In 1929, Charlie Glass sold the Corinth plant to Kentucky Utilities, which ran a line to the town from Georgetown.
"Electric got big about 1922," Henry Glass said. "Ed had two 25-horsepower engines and within a year he bought a 125-horsepower engine with $20,000 he had borrowed. Electric usage increased so much in one year that he needed another engine. He couldn't get enough money to buy another big engine, so he bought a 50-horsepower engine with $10,000, which is all he could get."
Glass said that the demand continued to grow faster than his dad could expand. That's why he sold the Williamstown plant for $50,000 and the Dry Ridge facility for $10,000.
"Everybody thought he was rich because he got a total of $60,000, but they didn't realize how much he owed from the loans he had taken out," Glass said.
Henry Glass was mayor of Williamstown from 1948 to 1952.
Charlie Glass died in late 1951 and Henry Glass and his brothers, Howard Glass, and John Glass, ran the mill until 1953. Henry Glass said he bought out his brothers, his mother, Bessie, and his sister, Stella Finley, and then sold a half interest in the business to his brother Howard Glass.
"We ran the mill until 1966 and then I closed the doors because business got so bad," Henry Glass said. "Howard reopened the mill about two weeks later as a feed store and ran it until 1976, when the Bank of Williamstown, which had purchased the property, was ready to build a new bank. The mill site became the bank's parking lot. The mill business was about dead," Henry Glass said. "Women just didn't buy flour like they used to to bake bread. Instead, they went to the store and bought bread." Parents: Charles Jacob "Jake" GLASS and Bessie Daugherty BAIRD.

John Henry GLASS was born in January 1838 in Jessamine Co., KY. He died apoplexy on 3 June 1910 at the age of 72 in Jessamine Co., KY. He was buried in Maple Grove Cemetery, Nicholasville, Jessamine Co., KY. BENNETT H. YOUNG'S "HISTORY OF JESSAMINE COUNTY" WRITTEN 1898
After going to school during his boyhood in Cincinnati, he learned the trade of cabinet maker with his father, who was one of the most skilled mechanics who ever lived in Jessamine County.

He was living with his son Frank & his family according to the 1910 Kentucky Census.

Some records give his name as John Henry while others give it as Henry John.

Mr. John Henry Glass, who now owns Glass Mills, near Wilmore, was born in 1838, of German parentage, in Jessamine County. After going to school during his boyhood in Cincinnati, he learned the trade of cabinetmaker, with his father, who was one of the most skilled mechanics who ever lived in Jessamine County. In 1870 Mr. Glass erected a mill in Lancaster, Ky., which is still in successful operation. Afterwards he sold out to George Denny, the president of the national bank, and moved back to Jessamine and bought the property known as the old paper mill, on Jessamine Creek, about three miles above its mouth. This mill had been operated for more than 100 years. After running it about three years he tore part of it down and erected a new building and put in new machinery, retaining, however, the water power, which had been in constant use for more than a century. The mill is operated all the year round, has its office and switch at Wilmore, Ky., and is one of the best manufacturing enterprises in Jessamine County. It has a large trade up and down the Cincinnati Southern Railroad, and its brands of flour are considered among the very best manufactured in the west. The principal of these, "The Daniel Boone," shows Mr. Glass' patriotism. Mr. Glass has been instrumental in building ten miles of turnpike in the western part of the county and in furnishing a constant and liberal home demand for grain, which has much increased land values in that section. Blessed with a large family, he has trained them both to industry and morality, and he is one of the useful men of the community. Parents: Casper GLASS and Ann Elisabeth "Annie" ECKHOLT.
