hired to tutor his son Andrew Pontius. Andrew Pontius had fallen
behind in his studies when his mother, Maria, died. Andrew hated
Laura and, as soon as he turned 18, enlisted in the Navy to fight in
World War I. It was while he was stationed on the east coast and
waiting transport to Europe that he contracted the “Spanish Flu” and
died at 18 years of age. Laura was extremely unpopular with Glancy’s
children. She has been described as “rail thin and shrewish; a
mean person who enjoyed the comforts afforded by Glancy’s money, but
someone who would never, herself, give anyone comfort. Glancy died
when he was 69 years old and survived by Laura, who was put on a pretty
thin allowance by Glancy’s son, Fred Glancy Pontius. There wasn’t much
communication with Laura after Glancy died.”)
