The land belonging to Prudent Beaudry, Cameron Thom, Alfred Chapman, and Andrew Glassell evolved into Glendale. Harry J. Crow, Cameron E. Thom, and his nephew, Erskin B. Ross, along with B.F.Patterson and B.T.Byram were responsible for the creation of the City of Glendale in 1887.

“In soliciting donations from his flock, a preacher may promise eternal life in a celestial city whose streets are paved with gold, and that’s none of the law’s business. But if he promises an annual free stay in a luxury hotel on Earth, he’d better have the rooms available.”
