OBITUARY

Mortica M. Gladdish was born January 16, 1838, in Warren County, Kentuck.  In 
1842 he moved with his parents by ox team, to Hagensville, Missouri.  He was 
converted and joined the Baptist Church at Mt. Prairie, Missouri, when 15 years 
of age.  He served 5 years in the war of the Rebellion.  He was married in 1872 
to Miss Nannie McKee of Concordia, Missouri.  One daughter was born to them, 
who, at the age of one month, passed away with her mother.  He was married in 
1879 to Fannie E. Mills of Hagensville, Missouri.  Three sons were born to this 
union, the first one dying in infancy, the second Henry A. of Fruitland, and 
the third Willard D. who was accidentally shot at the age of 15 years.  Mrs. 
Gladdish passed away in 1900, and Mr. Gladdish and Henry moved to Fruitland the 
same year.  He united with the Payette Baptist Church and was a consistent and 
active worker until the Baptist church was built in Fruitland, when he united 
with it, and has been a great help to the same in many ways.  He was always 
ready and willing to help in any way for the betterment and progressiveness of 
the church or any thing that was uplifting to the community.  He was kind and 
gentle to everyone, and loved by all who knew him.
Besides his son and faithful wife, who has taken such good care of him since 
his failing health the past four years, he leaves two little granddaughters, 
Opal aged 4, and Helen aged 2, and one brother, E. B. Gladdish, besides a host 
of friends.  He passed away Thursday morning January 28th, at 10:30, at the age 
of 88 years and 12 days.  He had been confined to his bed since November  1st, 
and had been very low for the past three weeks.  Death was due to heart trouble 
from which he suffered since 15 years old, and old age.
Funeral services were held from the Baptist Church, Saturday afternoon at 2 
o’clock, conducted by Rev. Edward Cox of Roswell, who had been a friend of Mr. 
Gladdish for the past 20 years.  Interment was made in Riverside cemetery.
