Col. William Cooper Procter (1862-1934)
Born in 1862, young W. C. spent his life in Glendale. He went to Glendale Elementary, commuted to Hughes High School and graduated from Princeton University in 1883.
He started working at P&G in the factory as a common laborer that same year and became plant manager in 1890.
During the Great Depression he employed the local grocer, Mr. Stanley Newton, to ensure that no one in Glendale would go hungry and he picked up the cost.
