Lake Odessa Wave - Thursday May 21, 1903

Fred Glasgow Dead.

Fred Glasgow died at his home near Grand Ledge, on Monday May 18th of 
inflammation of the bowels.The remains were brought to this village, and the 
funeral held this forenoon at the Congregational Church, Rev. W.H. Skentelbury 
preaching the sermon, after which the remains were laid at rest in Lakeside 
cemetery beside those of his mother who passed away when Fred was but twenty 
days old.

But very few knew of the boy's illness, and the announcement of his death came 
as a shock to his many friends here.

He was born on February 7th, 1884 at Odessa Center and had lived most of his 
life in Odessa township.This spring Mr and Mrs.Chas Glasgow sold their farm here 
and bought another near Grand Ledge.Fred being much devoted to his home, went 
along.

He was a faithful worker and his spare time of late had been spent in studying 
chemistry, being a student of one of the principal correspondence schools. He 
was preparing for and had intended to enter the Agricultural College this fall 
to finish his course. He was taken ill only about a week before his death, and 
all that could possible be done for the boy in he way of medicine and care was 
rendered, but to no avail, the disease baffling the many doctors called in.After 
the remains were brought here a post mortem was held, and it was found that his 
death was  inevitable.

Fred had a great circle of friends here where he was best known. He was an 
exemplary young man in every way.As honest and faithful as the day is long, 
studious to a fault, and had always interested himself in religious work. He 
leaves a father and four brothers behind, who are prostrated at he sudden death 
of the loved one. The brothers, all living at a distance, were unable to get  
her for the funeral.Mr.and Mrs.Chas. Glasgow have returned to their home but it 
was a sad home going. They can get lots of comfort out of the knowledge that the 
boy was one whom none could say a word against and that they are not alone in 
grief.
