| Info | Raised on his father's farm near Fremont, Ohio, George Washington Glick learned early in life the important value of hard work. Later on, it was hard work that led him to be an important part of the history and development of the State of Kansas. At an early age, Glick entered the law offices of Buckland and Hayes. He was admitted to the bar two years later and established a successful law practice, earning a reputation as an honest, hard-working lawyer. When Glick moved to Kansas, he quickly fell in love with the land and its people. He successfully labored for the adoption of the Kansas constitution. When he was later elected to the state legislature, he happily served for fourteen consecutive years, the final year being elected, "Speaker pro tempore." Glick was very well respected and was considered to be "just and expert" by his colleagues. He was so well loved and supported by the population of Kansas, that in 1882, he was elected Governor. Then, tragically, after more than fifteen long years of dedicated civil service, George Glick was forced to abandon his political career because of a throat infection which nearly destroyed his ability to speak. However, he continued to serve his beloved Kansas, in the capacity of vice-president of the Kansas Historical Society, until his death in 1911.
