Glade was one of Fruitland's most favored and loved young men. He was a young man of sterling character and worth and had so much to live for and could have done so much good in the world. He was a friend to all, old and young alike. In school affairs, athletics, social circles, church activities and many other places, he took an active part and was always counted upon as one of the main ones. He mingles with all and was one of the few in the community of which everyone had a good word to speak. None ever spoke anything but the best of him, he had all friends and no enemies. When anyone was in need of help he was always ready and willing to serve, whether it was of interest to him or not. It seems sad indeed and hard to understand why one so young and strong should be taken, but there is a power above us all who sees and knows what is best. Just now the way seems dark and dreary, but sometime we'll understand. Harold Glade Fisher was born near Sheridan, Mo., February 23, 1904, and died Thursday, October 16, 1930, at the age of 26 years, 6 months and 24 days. He is survived by his wife Laura Hezeltine Fisher, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Grant Fisher, three sisters, Mrs. L. E. Eldredge of Caldwell and Mildred and Merle of Fruitland and 2 brothers, George of Parma and Earl of Fruitland. Also a large circle of friends who extend their sympathy to all the bereaved ones in their hour of sorrow, as they also grieve with them in the loss of this fine boy. Glade came with his parents to Fruitland in the spring of 1908, where his home has been ever since. At an early age he united with the church of the Brethren, to which he has ever been loyal. He graduated from the Fruitland high school with the class of 1921, and from McPherson College, McPherson, Kans. in 1925. The year of 1925-26, he taught in the Fruitland high school, followed by two years teaching in Sharon Springs, Kans. He was united in marriage to Miss Laura Hezeltine of Fruitland on January 2, 1930. Together they went to Corvallis, where Glade took post-graduate work in the college there. For the past 2 years, with the exception of the time spent in Corvallis, he has been working with his father on the home ranch near Fruitland. Glade would have resumed his duties as a teacher in the Fruitland high school Monday, October 20th. His sunny disposition and ready willingness to be a friend has won him a wide circle of friends. The loss will be keenly felt, not only in the home but by all who have known him and learned to love him. His place will be greatly missed by everyone. Funeral services were held from the Brethren church Sunday after noon at 2:30 conducted by Rev. McKinley Coffman. The many and beautiful floral offerings were silent tributes of the high esteem in which he was held in the community. Interment was made in Riverside cemetery in Payette. Like a candle snuffed out in an instant. His departure from us was made, Yet his memory will live, Like the after-glow of sunset, Too sweet to fade. We have no way of knowing Why life is patterned so, Yet the purpose of life God planned for us, Some time, we'll surely know.
