Thomas J.[Jefferson] Glakler passed away 4 January 1917, and was laid to rest in Oakwood cemetery.
	Thomas J. Glakler was born 25 January 1848 and came to Jacksboro in 1872. He
opened a shop as gunsmith. Brother Glakler was a genius and could form out of
metal almost anything useful for his fellowman.
	On 13 November 1877, he united in marriage with Miss Cornelia [O.] Lee [not in
Jack County records, she was 15 years old], and became a member of the
Presbyterian church in 1879 and lived a true follower of the Master.
	To Mr. And Rms. Glakler were born three children, two girls and one boy,
surviving are the wife [Cornelia O. Glakler] and two children  Thomas [L.]
Glakler of Dallas and Miss Marion [L.] Glakler of Jacksboro.
	In the early 1890s Brother Glakler, on account of his health moved with his
family to Washington (then Territory). After several years they returned to
their home; after a short stay they tried the climate of Southern Texas, but the
grim destroyer had marked the husband and father for his own and in a few short
years the end came.
A good citizen and a true man has gone.
