Willlam H. Gladden, veteran of the Civil War, and a direct descendant of Col. Isaac Lee, the first settler of New Britain, died this morning at his home at 67 Gladden street. He was prominent in city affairs for half a century through his connections with the Fairview cemetery as superin- tendent, but never took an active in- terest in party politics. The deceased was born in New Britain in 1842 and was 77 years of age. Father Laid Out Cémetery. Mr. Gladden was the son of WAlliam Henry Gladden and Elvira Hills Glad- den. His father was connected with the Fairview cemetery, in a post sim- ilar to that held by himself in late years. The elder Mr. Gladden was in charge for more than 50 years previous to his son’s taking charge. The superintendency of the cemetery was in the Gladden family for well over a century. When but a young boy in his ’teens, Mr. Gladden assist- ed his father in his work about the grave-yard, acting both in a clerical capacity and as assistant caretaker. His father having originally laid out | the cemetery for the Town of New Britain, Mr. Gladden was more than ordinarily interested in the conduct of the place. Civil War Volunteer. While engaged in his work at the cemetery, news of the impending strife, betiveen the states of the North and’ the South reached the ears of young Gladden, then 20 years of age, and assisted by several other patriotic | young residents of this city he or- ganized a velunteer group to offer its services for the army. He was | chosen captain of the outfit and was assisted by John and Frank Stanley, Loth of this city, who were sub-offi- cers. The boys offered to serve in the | Union. army and were mustered \nto federal service in 1862. Stricken With Fever. Accompanied by his brother, Charles Gladden, the local man went to camp trained for service in a southern camp. Soon after the broths ers reached the South they were sent to the Mississippi valley for further | intensive training and while there Wil- | liam was taken with a fever brought on by the Mississippi river water. He | was ' taken to the hospital where he | remained during practically the entire | war. Officlal records show that on the eve of ome of the war's biggest skirmishes, William Gladden made an attempt to leave his cot in the army hospital and follow his brother, Charles, into the battle. His attempt was frustrated and he was brought | back to the hospital. In the conflict that followed, Charles was fatally wounded, dying soon afterward. An opportunity was later presented Wil- liam to be of service for scout duty and several other missions upon which he was sent were well executed. Past Commander of G. A. R. At the close of thg) war, the unit in which the local man served—the 14th Connecticut Volunteer Infantry | —was mustered out of service. e ithat Mr. Gladden returned to this city and again took up the work of assistant | superintendent of Fairview cemetery. At the same time he became affiliated with the Grand Army and was elected to membership in Stanley Post here. | His popularity among the ex-service men caused him to be elevated soon to the office of commander of that post, holding the position for one term. He took an active interest in the affairs of that organization. Was Prominent Soloist. Upon the death of his father a century ago, he became superin- tendent of the cemetery and under his supervision the place was weil cared for. About the same time he | became prominent throughout the | state ag a tenor soloist, and many of the older residents of the city can recall the days when he sang in St | Mark’s Ipiscopal church, the South Congregational church and the Firsc Congregational church. In the latter church at Sunday services his father played trombone solos, his mother ng soprano solos and he took part in the program by rendering tenor solos. He also wuas a soloist in the “enter and South Baptist churches in | Hartford. Bven after he discontin- | ued public singing he took a keen in- terest in music.
