John Glanville
John Glanville, of Linden, whose death occurred at Battle Creek, Mich., on June 15, 1910, whither he had gone for the benefit of his health, was born on October 5, 1842, being 68 years, 8 months and 10 days old.

The immediate relatives who mourn his departure, are two children, Maud M. and Royal B., and two brothers, Charles A. and Albert of Chicago. Besides these the deceased leaves a large number of more or less distant relatives and a host of friends, by whom he will be much missed. As a father neighbor and citizen, he had few if any superiors. His Christian life was characherized by a true simplicity, fervour and reality, which comes only from contact and communion with the Christ of Calvary. May the blessings of Heaven rest upon the bereft ones until they meet their loved one in the Celestrial City. [Mineral Point Tribune, 23 Jun 1910 - Submitted By Crystal S]
