Palmyre Greenhouse
Andrew Louis Glatigny
was born in Paris, France, May 9, 1844 to Andrew and Louise Palmyre
Glatigny. Details gleaned from
newspapers are confusing. He was one of
a number of French who came to Sleepy Eye.
Andrew came to U.S. 1854 and to Brown County - 1862 after Uprising was
quelled. He farmed and was said to have
one near neighbor, French Cap.
Mrs. George Carroll was
a Glatigny. After Mrs. Glatigny's death
Andrew married Emily Beliveau on Nov. 9, 1880.
They had a daughter, Clemence.
Glatigny built a house in 1899 on southwest corner of Linden and Second
Avenue West - a total size of six lots. Added
greenhouse in 1900. Tripled Green House in
1901. Property extended full block over
to dirt road which became Highway Four.
A grove was at the west end.
Matthias Hillesheim farm was to the west side of road. The Glatigny Family were members of All Souls
Episcopal Church. Clemence married Oscar
Werring, a dentist. They had a daughter,
Palmyre.
Oscar died young of TB, as did several of his friends. Clemence and her child then went to
California and became involved with Christian Science.
Andrew sold Palmyre
Greenhouse in1917 to Anton Heymans. Four
lots to the west of the home were sold to make space for more homes. The barn was moved to an empty lot west and
remolded by William Schwartz.
Census 1880 - Michel
Glatigny age 69, farmer, wife Palmyre age 68.
They evidently are parents of men above.
Children are listed as Andrew 34, farmer, August 33, farmer. Also in household: Emily, daughter-in-law to
Michal, and Helen granddaughter. Figures
do not all jibe with those above. Also
on farm were Andy Lautz, 21, laborer.
