GLAZNER, CHARLES REID
(10 Oct 1930, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Word was received here this morning of the death of Charlie Glazner, 39,
son of Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Glazner of this city, and World war veteran, at
Tucson, Arizona, at the United States Veterans Hospital.  Mr. Glazner died
at about nine a.m.  Mrs. Glazner and son Jack, and Mrs. Pete Hill, sister
of Mr. Glazner, were with him at the time.  Mrs. Hill went to Tucson ten
days ago when her brother, Bradley Glazner, returned from that place. 
Mrs. Glazner and son and Bradley Glazner were with Mr. Glazner the greater
part of the time.
Mr. Glazner has been in the west for nearly two years.  Practically all
that time he was confined to veterans hospitals.  Leaving Elk City he
entered a veteran's hospital at Ft. Lyons, Colorado, where he remained for
a year.  After leaving there last December he went to Tucson.  Hope for a
complete recovery was not held after he entered the hospital.  Although it
was known he could not get well his death at this time was unexpected.
Henry Tyler and W. W. Blackburn visited Mr. Glazner several months ago.
Mr. Glazner is a member of the Masonic order, of the American Legion and
of the First Baptist church.  He was born September 15, 1891, in Georgia. 
When a lad he came to Oklahoma with his parents who settled near Foss, and
after one year there moved to Elk City.  He was in the Thirty-Sixth
Division, 131st Machine Gun Battalion in the United States army.  He
received military training at Camp Bowie at Ft. Worth, Texas, and Camp
Travis at San Antonio, Texas.  He was in service overseas for 21 months
and fought in two important battles.
Shortly after his return from the army he was married to Miss Thelma
Hapgood, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. K. Hapgood, of this city.
Besides his widow, Mrs. Glazner, and son Jack, immediate survivors are his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Glazner, his sister Mrs. Hill, and three brothers,
Bradley Glazner of this city, Clyde Glazner and Grady Glazner, both of
Wichita Falls, Texas.
Funeral arrangement are pending further word from Mrs. Glazner and Mrs.
Hill.  It is expected that the body will arrive here Sunday morning.
