OBITUARY OF GLEN JEWELL

The whole city was cast into gloom
last sunday morning when the news was
wired up from Hot Springs hospital that
Glen Jewell had passed away imme-
dIately after the second operation upon
his ear 1t was thought that after the
first operation of about ten days ago that
he was doing well and no one was pre-
pared for the sad news of Sunday morn.
ing.
Glen Spear Jewell, son of Mr. and
Mrs. w. X. Jewell, was born at Canon
City, Colo, Jan. II, 1903, and passed
from this life Oct p, 1917, aged IA
years, months, 10 days
Glen was one of our finest young men,
clean bright and as lkeable a young
man as could be found any where. He
was the only son and the blow falls
heavily on the bereaved parents The
indirect cause of his early death was the
effects of a terrible attack Of scarlet
fever nine years ago and an after effect
was an affection of the mastoid gland
which never became normal again and
was a constant cause of trouble to him
since his early illness. Some time ago
he was taken with the old malady and
was taken to the hospital and an opera
ton was performed and it was thought
the present trouble was relieved but the
infection was not removed and on Fri;
day, the Goth, he was taken bad again
and another operation was arranged but
the surgeon found the operation hope
less one and Glen never recovered from
the anaesthetic but passed away several
hours later
The funeral was held from the Con.
gregationa church at Custer Monday
afternoon and was conducted by the
Rev. VIM. S. Harper who brought COM
fort in the memory of splendid young
life who had been the constant Joy and
pride of the parents. The pail bearers
were six young men from the High
School and the sunday School, all chums
and friends of his. Glen was an honor
ed member of the Ninth grade and also
a regular attendant of Sunday School
and greatly beloved by all who knew
him. He was clean living young fell
low and could usually have been found
when not in school, with his father,
who was perhaps more of a chum to
Glen than any young fellow in school,
The blow will fall heavily on the father
on this account, as all who knew the
situation realize the beautiful affection
that had grown up between the father
and son, and all know that the father
has not only lost a son but also rea
friend whose admiration and love had
grown to passion with this boy with &
great heart.
But Glen has not lived his near fifteen
years in vain. All who knew him will
cherish the memory of his quiet clean
| life TO cheer them on and the parents
and the two sisters, Flora and Ruth, will
! haye not only left to them the precious
memories Of a good son and loving
brother and this memory not disturbed
by anything that would mar or bring 8
shadow of pain.
A wealth cf floral offerings by the
Ladies Aid, the High School, the Camp
Fire Girls and host Of friends who
| brought these mute witnesses of the
loving esteem of many hearts.
| m. ,.a. lasl o,o,, In, tho ruatay
Cemetery to await the glad morning o
the new day when all mysteries will be
cleared and all sorrowing hearts will be
recompensed by the master whom theS
have served.

yesterday for Robert Jackson, a young
