  GLENN JACOB VERNIER.    The firm of Vernier, McLaughlin-Probeck Company at Archbold is one of the best known business firms in Fulton county, and for many years has stood for progress and fair dealing.  Among the active members of this firm is its secretary and treasurer, Glenn J. Vernier, to whom a large part of the prosperity of the firm is due and who has, because of his splendid business qualities and excellent personal traits, won the esteem of the entire community.
     Glenn J. Vernier has been a life-long resident of Archbold, his birth having occurred here in 1889, and he is the son of A. J. and Hattie (Downer) Vernier.  He is descended from sterling French ancestry on the paternal side, his great-grandfather Vernier having come from France to the United States, settling in the vicinity of Archbold.  The subject of this sketch was reared here and received his elementary education in the public schools, graduating from the high school in 1900.  He then took a commercial course in the Quincy Business College at Quincy, Illinois, where he was graduated in 1908. Immediately thereafter he went to work in his father’s store, with which he has been identified ever since, and is now a member of the firm of Vernier, McLaughlin-Probeck Company, of which he is secretary and treasurer.  The company has a capital stock of $50,000 and they carry one of the largest and most complete stocks of hardware of every description, implements, building material, etc., to be found in Fulton county, commanding a trade covering a wide radius of surrounding country.
     In 1909 Mr. Vernier was married to Eva Fagley, the daughter of Conrad and Anna Fagley, of Archbold, and they have become the parents of two children, Pauline Catherine and Jacob Robert.
     Mr. Vernier has been an earnest supporter of the republican party, and in 1915 was elected to the office of city clerk, in which position he served four years.  In 1917 he was elected to the City Council and is still a member of that body.  Fraternally he is a member of the Free and Accepted Masons, in which he has attained the thirty-second degree of the Scottish Rite, and is also a member of Zenobia Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, at Toledo, Ohio.  He possesses to a marked degree those sterling traits which ever command uniform confidence and regard, and he is numbered today among the enterprising business men of his community.
