There was a "Glover Machine Works" located up the road in Marietta Georgia. It had the distinction of being the oldest family owned manufacturing industry in Georgia. During its time in Marietta (started in 1893), it was a small but well established company producing small-to-medium machinery and fittings, steam hoisting engines and logging skidders (both stationary and rail-mounted versions) and locomotives on a modest scale.
According to Glover Machine Work's historian Richard L. Hillman "the Glovers were locomotive builders and not merely assemblers of locomotives built from manufacturer's parts." By the 1930s the era of steam locomotive production at the Glover facility had passed.
The company continued operating, with the bulk of their business coming from the production of high-pressure pipeline components at their plant in Cordele, Georgia. After the last steam locomotive was shipped, the Glover Machine Works continued to repair and manufacture replacement parts for their engines through the 1950
