The floral offering was beautiful and after the casket was lowered and the grave filled, Glen's teacher, Louie Carr and his schoolmates each placed a flower on the grave. A large crowd was present to pay their last respects. Glenn will be missed in school as well as at home. He leaves to mourn his loss, father, mother, four brothers, 4 sisters and many other relatives besides a host of friends. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved family and may God console their troubled hearts is the wish of neighbors and friends. Note: sometimes Glen is spelled Glenn. ( Cheyenne Star, April 23, 1925)
