Gladman, Wilber - A very sad accident occurred in Blanchard late last Friday afternoon when Wilber Gladman, the little two year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Clark Gladman was so badly burned that he died from the effect a short time Inter. The child was in the house alone at the time and it is not known how he got on fire but it is supposed that he was playing with matches when his clothing caught on fire. He ran out of doors, when a near neighbor heard him screaming and ran to him, but not until his clothing had all burned from his body with the exception of his little shoes. Doctors Pruitt and Robb were immediately summoned and did all they could to relieve him until he died a few hours later. The funeral services were held at the Christian Church, Sunday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock conducted by Rev. Rust, the pastor. Interment took place in the Blanchard cemetery.

An old settler and upright and honored citizen has been taken from our community. Elias Thomas Glasgow, son of Alexander and Sarah Glasgow, was born in Allegheny county, Pennsylvania, September 27, 1832 and died at his home in Harlan township, Page county, Iowa, July 2, 1907 in his 75th year.
From Pennsylvania Mr. Glasgow, with the family of his parents, moved to Des Moines county, Iowa. Thence Thomas with other members of the family came to Page county in 1873 and settled in the bounds of the Covenanter church where their home has continued to the present.
Thomas was unmarried and made his home with his mother and younger brother, W. K. Several years ago the good mother was called to the heavenly home, leaving the two sons to live happily together.
Thomas Glasgow was in ill health the greater part of his life and endured his afflictions with Christian patience and resignation. He was faithfully and affectionately nursed by his brother, William, until he entered into rest.
Mr. Glasgow made a public profession of his faith in Christ and united with the Reformed Presbyterian congregation of Sharon in Des Moines county, under the pastorate of the Rev. Dr. J. M. McDonald and remained a faithful member of this church in the Clarinda congregation until promotion came.
Thomas leaves three brothers, John C., Don and W. K., also two sisters, Mrs. Hugh Walkinshaw, and Mrs. Sarah Dunn. The family are among the old settlers in Page county highly honored and respected by all.
That the righteous hath hope in his death was exemplified in case of Mr. Glasgow, who upon his death bed expressed the strongest assurance of an interest in Christ as his Savior. On July 3rd, services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. J. W. Dill. The text was 2nd Cor. 5:4.
The body was laid to rest in the Covenanter Cemetery to await the resurrection day. "There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God." J. W. D. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, iowa, Jul 16, 1907

Emma B. Holland died at her home near Ballentine, Mont., on August 6, 1910, and was buried at. Guss, Iowa, August 9th, aged 68 years, 10 months and 19 days.

The deceased was born near Columbus, Ohio, September 18, 1841. At the age of five years she moved with her parents to Davenport, and from there to Hawleyville, in 1853, at which   place   she was married to Samuel H. Glasgow on February 13, 1861.    To this union three children were born, Mrs. Eva VanDevender, of near Hepburn, Samuel F. and Frank M., of Ballantine, Mont.   She united with the Methodist church in girlhood and remained a devoted member to the time of her death.   When our nation called for volunteers   in 1861, her husband,  Samuel H.  Glasgow, was among the first to respond to the call.    She bravely gave him to his country, not knowing whether he would ever return.   Thus she filled her mission in life—a child of the pioneer of Ohio and Iowa, a soldier's wife, a loving  mother, a friend of the poor and needy, and ended it in the loving service of home and God in the great, new country of Montana.

WOMAN COMMITS SUICIDE.

Mrs. George Glassgow of Valley Township Hangs Herself in Smoke House.
Mrs. George Glassgow, wife of a farmer, living two and one-half miles north of Hawleyville on the Page-Taylor county line, met death at her own hands, Tuesday evening, Oct. 10, 1916, by hanging herself from one of the upper joists in the smoke house, while her husband and three small sons were absent on an errand to a neighboring farm. Dr. F. H. Clark of Clarinda, coroner of Page county, accompanied by R. E. Harmon, who is the Republican nominee and will probably be the next coroner of the county, went immediately to the place upon the receipt of the call. They viewed the body hanging from the joist and Coroner Clark pronounced it a plain case of suicide, needing no formal inquest and coroner's jury.
The cause of the woman's tragic act is supposed to have been suffering which came from a badly diseased limb. For the past two years she has been walking on the toes of one foot and suffering much pain. Her husband states that he had recently advised her to go to an osteopath but that she had not done so. He also stated that he had never seen the diseased limb which she had kept bandaged and that she had constantly refused to talk about it. A sister of Mrs. Glassgow, Mrs. Fisher, who lives in the same locality, stated that she also had never seen the diseased limb or realized the seriousness of its condition. A brief examination made by Dr. Clark showed its condition to have been extremely serious.
Before her death Mrs. Glassgow had taken pains to give the house a thorough cleaning from top to bottom, had started supper and had set the table for her husband and three sons, setting no place for herself, however. The relatives stated that it was the first time she had ever been left alone in the house without at least one of the children. When they left for the neighboring farm, she seemed in the best of spirits and was pleased at the sight of her youngest son, three years of age, upon the wagon with his father and two brothers. When the husband and sons returned to the farm, they were unable to find her, hunted everywhere and phoned to the neighbors without success. Finally, happening to go to the smoke house the father found the door barred from the inside. When he had obtained entrance he found his wife dead from strangulation. She had evidently mounted a box, tied the rope to a high joist, then around her neck and kicked the box from under her feet. The deceased was forty-four years of age. She was a daughter or: James Bramble of New Market. Her three sons are 3, 7 and 13 years of age respectively. CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, Oct 12, 1916

MRS. GEORGE GLASGOW SUICIDE

Mother of Three Children, Living Near Hawleyville. Ill Health the Cause.  

Mrs. George Glasgow, living two and one-half miles north of Hawleyville committed suicide last Tuesday evening, Oct. 10th, by hanging. Tuesday afternoon about 4 o'clock Mr. Glasgow and three sons, which are 3, 7 and 13 years of age went to a neighbors to get some potatoes, when on returning about six o'clock they missed Mrs. Glasgow and began to look for her. After the search had been made at the neighbors nearby they began looking on the premises and on finding the smokehouse door proped shut from the inside, forced it open and found her dead body hanging from a joist in the building. She had straightened the house and set the supper table during their absence, putting a plate one for each one of the family but herself, and had then gone to the smokehouse and by the aid of a box tied the rope to the joist and round her neck, and had then kicked the box from under her.
Ill health was thought to be the cause of the trouble, as she has suffered severely for the past two years from a disease of the bone in one of her limbs, which was found to be nearly decayed from the ankle to the knee.
The coroner was called but an inquest was not thought necessary, as it was a plain case of suicide. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Oct 12, 1916

Mrs. Geo. Glassgow a Suicide
Mrs. Geo. Glassgow, living two and one half miles north of Hawleyville committed suicide Tuesday afternoon between 4 and 6 o'clock. Ill heal th is the cause for the rash act. Her husband with the three little boys, three years old, seven and thirteen respectively, left about 4 o'clock for a neighbors where they were going to get some potatoes and upon arriv ing home, Mrs. Glassgow was no where to be found. They looked and called all through the house, but received no response, then going out to the barn and coming to the wood shed they found the door braced from the inside and upon forcing an entrance found her body hanging from a joist. She had fastened a rope to the joist, got up on a box and kicked same from under her and strangled to death. Dr. Clark, the coroner was called and pronounced it suicide and no inquest was held. Mrs. Glassgow was seemingly in good spirits when the family left and had been busy all day cleaning the house upstairs and down and had made preparations for supper, setting the table with the exception of her place. She had been suffering for some time with tuberculosis of the bone and this had probably preyed upon her mind and caused this act. She is a daughter of James Bramble of New Market, la. The funeral services will be held in New Market, 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon. The body will be taken to Dallas Center, Iowa [Dallas Center Cemetery, Taylor Co., Iowa] for burial.

Mrs. Chas. Ferris received the sad news from Denver last Friday of the death of her niece Mrs Corrine Glazier, daughter of George C. Stillians formerly of this city. Her death occurred Thursday evening at St. Luke hospital resulting from injuries by being run down by an automobile about 10 oclock that day. A special to the Council Bluffs Nonpareil says Mrs. Glazier started to cross the street in company with Dr. Van Mater being slightly in advance of him. They had hardly stepped from the curb when an automobile belonging to John F. Corbett and driver by Louis Straub struck her so suddenly that she could not escape. She was immediately taken to a hospital. The two auto men were arrested and lodged in jail charged with manslaughter. Mrs Glazier was 32 years of age and a sister of Mrs. Chas.

A STARTLING DEATH
J.   W.   Gleitze   Found   His Wife Lying Lifeless on the Floor This Morning-
When J. W. Gleitze arose this morning at seven and went into an adjoining room where his wife had slept, to fix the fire, he found her lying on the floor behind the stove, cold in death. Almost paralyzed with greif he ran half dressed for Mrs. Roscoe to come quickly for he believed his wife was dead, for it was still dark in the room and seeing a white object on the floor he had put his hand down and touched it and realized that death was there. Such a thing was wholly unexpected to him and of course quite unnerved him. Mrs, Roscoe hurried in and made light and there lay the woman in her night dress face down, a pool of blood on the floor that had flowed from her mouth and nose.
The Gleitze home is next east of the Cottage House, on Lowell Avenue. For several days Mrs Gleitze had been slightly ill, that is, not bad enough to call the doctor, but she was taking medicine which she had in the house. Usually they sleep in the front bedroom, bnt last night she slept on a lounge in the sitting room by the stove. It is apparent that along towards morning, feeling sick, she had arisen and was on her knees vomiting in a bucket that stood behind the stove, and that in straining a blood vessel had broken and filled her lungs and mouth with blood, and fell over on the floor and expired suddenly without being able to cry for help. She had probably been dead an hour or more when her husband found her.
Mr. Gleitze was overwhelmed with grief and scarcely knew what he was doing. His wife was suffering a good deal, but he had slept soundly and did not hear her in the night, and never dreamed of the sad sight that awaited his rising.
The coroner was sent for at Yorktown, but Undertaker Champan called several witnesses to view the body as it lay, and then lifted it from its hard position on the floor to the stretcher and covered it with a sheet to await the coroner.
Mrs Opoelia Gleitze was 59 years old on Christmas Day. She has lived a somewhat checkered life. Born in Illinois she was first the wife of J. B. Lawson, the well known stockman of Yorktown. After she had raized a family of five children, trouble arose between her and her husband and they separated. In May, 1896, she married Mr. Glietze, and two years later she bought the house where she died and she has led a quiet and happy life much respected by all who knew her. The breach made by her separation with Mr. Lawson has long ago been healed, and the most friendly relations existed between her and her former family, so that they visited back and forth. She owned a farm of eighty acres south of town, as well as the property where she lived. Mr. Gleitze is a good, honest, industrious man, generally employed but just now out of work. He takes his loss severely and his many friends will sympathize with him.
Mr Gleitze summoned the children by phone early this morning and they will arrive during the day.—Shenandoah Sentinel. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jan 1, 1904
