RONNIE GLOVER—son of Albert Ross Glover and Daphne Gelser Glover
Ronnie was born January 7, 1935 in Canaseraga, Allegany Co., N.Y per his U.S. Air Force discharge papers (Jana maintains he was the only sibling born in a hospital and in Hornell). He died at the age of 21 on March 30, 1956 in Topeka, Kansas.
H. Ross Glover recalls his little brother’s burial service at the Canaseraga Cemetery:
Jack Hughes was a good friend of Dad’s. He owned the Canaseraga Inn right across the street from their apartment. Well he was a WWII Air Force pilot and a member of the national guard out of Niagara Falls. He asked Dad if he wanted a ceremonial flyover of jets for the burial service. Dad kinda thought he was crazy and finally said ok to the deal after some of us thought it would be good to do if it was possible at all. Jack said he would not only arrange it, but he would fly the lead jet. This all just a day or two before the burial. At the cemetery the pastor was nervous because he had been told to end his talk at an exact time to coincide with the flyover. Well nobody quite believed all this would happen in little Canaseraga. But sure enough, as soon as the pastor closed his bible at the time requested, a formation of jets---with one spot missing to
signify a lost airman---swooped down just over the pine trees. It happened so fast Dad said: “Where’d they go?” Someone
jokingly said: “To Florida to turn around.” Well, a few minutes later they roared by again, causing quite a stir in Canaseraga. Probably the only time in history that ever happened in that little town.

IVAN “CHIEF” McCOLL
As a longtime community leader, Chief’s death was major news in Nunda. A feature story, complete with his photo and the photo he took as a 19-year old in 1945 of the atomic bomb test, appeared in the Feb 26, 1998 edition of the Clarion News:
“One of Nunda’s prominent citizens, Ivan James “Chief” McColl, died Feb. 5 after a battle with recurring prostate cancer.
Born Dec 1, 1926, the son of H. Donald McColl, the Nunda chief of police, from whom young James inherited the moniker “Chief.” An itinerant businessman, Chief devoted more than 50 years of his life to various automotive-related ventures. Chief served 25 years on the Nunda Village Board, which included three 4-year stints as mayor, where he oversaw some landmark public works projects. As noteworthy as these activities may be, the most momentus events of Chief’s life took place before his twentieth birthday. He had a front row seat as a witness to the greatest man-made destructive events ever to take place on the surface of the planet. As an aerial photographer in the Army Air Corps, Chief recorded the atom bomb tests conducted in the summer of 1945 in the Pacific. Chief enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps April 16, 1945 in Rochester, NY. The front page of a now-yellowed copy of the Nunda News of May 31, 1946 contains a photo of Pvt. McColl along with an
army press service release saying that he is involved with the tests of the atomic bomb in the Marshall Islands. McColl’s “…unit is faced with one of the greatest photographic missions yet attempted by the air forces.”Another contemporary photograph shows Chief with his camera literally smoking, shortly after his B-29 returned from an atomic test mission. Chief apparently could not resist the temptation of smuggling home one souvenir, which remained hidden in a duffel bag and unspoken of until the late 1960s. It is one of the photographs he took: a mushroom cloud at Bikini Island, showing battleships and destroyers being tossed about like they were flakes of straw in the wind. In 1947, McColl was discharged and returned home, which was now Geneseo, since Donald McColl had been elected Livingston County Sheriff. In December, 1947 he married Audrey Glover of Canaseraga. James found work as a mechanic in Wakley’s garage on Main Street. Three years later he and Audrey returned to Nunda, where James leased and operated a Kendall Station on State Street. A son Reverdy was born in 1952. At this point, documentation of Chief’s career becomes rather complex. He was a restless man, always eager to try out some new business venture. Until he finally settled on Gibbs Street in Nunda in 1978, Audrey recalls that the family lived in nearly 20 different locations, many in Nunda, but also in Canandaigua, Dansville, and
Conesus Lake. Over the next four decades Chief was a Ford salesman at the Tunningley dealership, returned to the Kendall station, formed a partnership selling Kendall motor oil and other automotive products to service stations throughout the region, built the car wash on State Street, opened a snowmobile and lawn & garden shop, moved up the street to the Esso (later Sunoco) garage, sold cars for Jerry Douglass and started his own used car dealership. Indeed, many of these enterprises were carried on simultaneously. Reverdy recalls a period in the early 1970s when the family operated the Kendall station, the car wash, the snowmobile business and his mother’s fabric shop. Even with all this activity, Chief still made time for hobbies, which included his study of local Indian lore. He possessed a great knowledge of archeology. Chief was also an avid golfer and fisherman, always making one or two walleye treks to Lake Erie each year. In 1988 Reverdy took over the Sunoco station and garage while Chief moved to his used car lot next door. However, last year Chief again took charge at the station, operating it from January to June of 1997. In contrast to his business career, Chief’s career in public service was an outstanding example of stability. He served continuously on the Nunda Village Board from 1960 until 1984. In 1963 he defeated incumbent Mayor Ken Willard (who was later a state senator). As mayor, Chief was the prime mover behind a major public works project which replaced the village’s primitive spring-fed water tanks with an impoundment reservoir and filtration plant, and revamped the water mains throughout the village, finally providing a connection for every household. In a third term as mayor on the 1970s, Chief led the movement to build the village sanitary sewer system, freeing the community from what were becoming increasingly unhealthful septic systems. Also during this decade, Chief helped bring about the expansion of the Nunda Fire Department, with new equipment and the larger facility behind Village Hall. Audrey recalls, “Whenever they made Chief mayor, you knew something big was about to happen.”
