GLADESVILLE, a post-village on the Statesville and Nashville road, 12 miles south-west from Lebanon, was established in 1852, on the land of Benjamin Hooker Jr. John Bland was appointed the first postmaster. It is situated in an undulating and moderately healthy section, though the village proper is located on a rocky glade, from which it takes its name. It is old enough to have grown larger, but it didn't. It has but two stores, one saddle and harness shop, one wagon shop, a cabinet shop, two blacksmith shops, a school house, Methodist church, Masonic and Odd Fellows halls, one physician, and about 40 inhabitants, of which a half-dozen are colored. Gladesville is situated in the midst of a moral, industrious and clever people.
