DEATH OF FRANK C. GLADNEY
(By Mrs. D. E. Brown)

It was with deep and genuine sorrow that the many friends here of Mr. Frank C. 
Gladney received the sad intelligence of his passing away at his home in Baton 
Rouge last Friday.

He was known here for his strict integrity, a high sense of honor, a beautiful 
devotion to his family.  He was very attentive to his business and was held in 
highest esteem by those with whom he was associated.  He was traveling 
salesman for the Brown Shoe Co., in St. Louis which position he held for a 
period of many years, always enjoying their confidence and highest regard.

Mr. Gladney had been in wretched health for several years, but last winter was 
greatly improved, when he suffered a severe attack of influenze (leaving him 
much much depressed) from which he had never recovered, when the end came.

He is survived by his wife and nine children, a bright boy, and talented 
family of sons and daughters, the oldest of whom are graduates and students of 
Louisiana State University, some of whom are established in a lucrative 
business and all are loved and honored in their community.  He is also 
survived by his mother, Mrs. Ruth Gladney Talbot, who is loved by many friends 
in Arcadia where she spent a long period of her life.  She is now in Wichita 
Falls, with her sons, Lamar Gladney and Wilkie Talbot.  She was unable to 
attend the funeral of Mr. Gladney which was conducted Sunday morning at the 
home of his cousin, Mrs. Carl Goff, by Rev. W. H. Jordan who was assisted by 
the Masons, of which order he was a very devoted member.  He was also a member 
of the W. O. W.

Many floral tributes were sent by friends.  A number came on Monday.  One very 
handsome piece frm his business employers in St. Louis, showing the regard in 
which they held him.

Those accompanying the remains from Baton Rouge were his wife, Mrs. Gladney 
and oldest son, Frank Gladney, Jr., and aunt, Mrs. R. L. Curran of New Orleans.

The deepest sympathy of this entire community is felt for those so deeply 
bereaved.  May they "Look unto the Hills from whence cometh their strength."
