On Monday evening Mr Archibald Glendinning, ironmonger, Market Place, Langholm, breathed his last. He was the oldest merchant in the town, and much respected in the district. The deceased took a considerable interest in the introduction of a water supply into the town, and laid the pipes for the first supply. He sat as a Police Commissioner for several years. He commenced business in 1841 in Langholm, and in 1859, when the Volunteer movement originated, he was one of the first to join the local corps. He was a native of the parish of Westerkirk, being born at Effgill in 1811, so that he was 76 years of age. He was an office-bearer in Langholm Free Church."4Newspaper Obituary, Eskdale & Liddesdale Advertiser - 25 Jan 1888.
"The Late Mr A Glendinning, Ironmonger
Our obituary today contains an intimation of the death on Monday afternoon of Mr Archibald Glendinning, ironmonger, at the age of 76. The deceased had been in failing health for some time, but was able to move about the house until Saturday last, when he was attacked with blindness, and on Sunday became unconscious. He lingered in this state until Monday afternoon, when he passed quietly away. Mr Glendinning was born at Effgill in 1811, and served his apprenticeship as a joiner in Eskdalemuir. He then went to Newcastleton as foreman to Mr Douglas, joiner there. During his stay he built the railway bridge near Wetheral. In 1841 he came to Langholm and began business as an ironmonger in the premises now occupied by Mr Ritchie, chemist. In 1855 he built the property at the foot of Kirkwynd, where he has since resided and carried on his business. When Whita Well was brought into the town he took a great interest in the scheme, and laid the pipes for the first supply. In 1859, when the Volunteer movement was inaugurated, Mr Glendinning was one of the first to join in Langholm. For some years he sat in the Police Commission, and was one of the trustees of the soup kitchen in the town. He was also an office-bearer in the Free Church. The deceased was well known and respected all over the district."5Confirmation of Estate, 1888.

"DEATH OF DR GLENDINNING -
We regret to have to record the death of Dr Glendinning, of Bingley, which took place at his residence there on the 12th inst. Dr Glendinning died at the early age of twenty-nine years, after a stay in Bingley of two years duration, during which he secured, as much by his kindliness and gentleness of disposition as by his excellence as practitioner, the esteem of all with whom he came in contact. His success in Bingley had been very considerable, and only a week or two before his death he had been appointed medical officer to the Keighley Union, for the Bingley district. Dr Glendinning received his professional training in the Medical and Surgical schools of Edinburgh, of the University of which city he was a graduate. His career as a student was characterised by great industry and steady application. Although the state of his health had not been satisfactory no suspicions were entertained that his death was so near. For some days he had been suffering from a disorder of the kidneys, which resulted only a few hours before his death in grave symptoms of blood poisoning, and violent congestion of the lungs set in. After a brief interval of great suffering death closed the scene, in spite of all efforts to relieve him. Dr Glendinning's loss will be widely and deeply felt in Bingley and neighbourhood - Keighley News:- [On Saturday last the mortal remains of Dr Douglas Glendinning, son of our respected townsman, Mr A. Glendinning, ironmonger, were brought from Bingley to Langholm by train, and conveyed by hearse from the railway-station, accompanied by a few sympathising friends, to his father's house about eight o'clock p.m. The effect of the slow and solemn procession through the dark streets was very impressive. The greatest sympathy is felt with the family who have been so suddenly and unexpectedly bereaved of one on whom they might well look with pride and hope. As in Bingley so also in Langholm, Dr Glendinning was esteemed and beloved by all who knew him, either professionally or as a friend or neighbour. The funeral took place at two o'clock yesterday, and was attended by a large number of friends and acquaintances of the deceased. All the shops in the neighbourhood were closed.]."3Newspaper Announcement, Eskdale & Liddesdale Advertiser 17 May 1865.
