GLAZEBROOK, Was born in Cole county, Mo., Jan. 6th, 1833, and died in Kinmundy, Sunday, Sept. 4, 1887, aged 54 years, 7 months and 24 days. Deceased was married to Miss Sarah C., sister of D. W. Johnson, March 25, 1858. She died Oct. 15, 1861. He came to Kinmundy from Nokomis, Il, May 25, 1869, and was married to Miss Louisa Hatton, August 13th of the same year, and resided here until death. He was possessed of many manly qualities in a social and business re- lation with his fellow men. Such was his devotion to the party of his choice that we doubt that if a trib- ute more pleasing to himself could be made than to say “he lived and died a democrat.” ? He had been in poor health for a long time, and though his death was sudden, it was notentirely unexpect- ed to those acquainted with his physical condition. The funeral took place from his late residence Wednesday morning, under the auspices of Kinmundy Lodge, No. 1091, Knights of Honor, of which order he was a member in good standing. Rev. W. N. Gerard delivered a short address in compli- ance with a request of the deceased made years ago. He leaves a wife and daughter, three sisters, four brothers and a large circle of friends to mourn his death. Three brothers from Mis- souri were present at the funeral, which was attended bya large con- gregation of sympathizing friends.— Kinmundy (Ills.) Express. Ed.
