Glendon


Glendon was laid out in the latter part of 1880, by J. Early and H.N. Ross. The first settler was Aldin Moore, who resided in a log cabin, when it was laid out. The first store building was erected during the the winter of 1880 and spring of 1881, by M. J. Sanborn. Mr. Sanborn put in a stock of general merchandise and continued in that business until January 1, 1883, when Marion Boots and James Lonsdale bought out the place, and under the name and style of Lonsdale & Boots carried on the business until April 1884.
