Rev. Joseph Peter Gloden was born at Remerschen, Grand Duchey of Luxemburg, Jan. 12, 1842. He attended St. Augustine college at Ritch, France, and subsequently came to America. He studied philosophy at the seminary at Metz, and studied theology at St. Mary's seminary at Cleveland, from 1866 to 1869. He was ordained priest September 30, 1869, by Bishop Rappe, at Cleveland.
His first charge was at St. Peters at Cleveland, which position he held for seven months. He then resigned and went to Europe on account of failing health and stayed one year.
When he returned in 1871, he was assigned the pastorate at St. Nicholas church at Burwick, Seneca county, Ohio, where he remained until 1886. While he was at Burwick, he also had charge of a congregation at Carey, O. and built a new church in Burwick.
In 1886, he went to Fostoria and entered upon his duties as pastor of St. John's church. In May, 1891, he was transferred to Randolph, O. He remained there until he was assigned charge of St. John's church in the city, in November 1891. Mr. Gloden is a pleasant and agreeable gentleman and is well liked by his congregation and all who know him."
