Mr. Darwin H. Glidden passed quietly away on Wednesday evening, Aug. 13,
1902, of cancer. He was born in Orleans Co., N. Y., June 14, 1835 and came
to Wisconsin when but five years of age. In the War of the Rebellion he
enlisted in Company B of the 11th Wisconsin volunteer Infantry and was
wounded at the battle of Vicksburg, May 22, 1863. On his recovery he was
transfered to the veteran corps and served until Sept. 1864. He then went
to Clermont, Iowa where he remained until the fall of 1866 when he returned
to Brooklyn.

Mr. Glidden was married in 1865 to Elizabeth Thomson of Madison, who died
May 23, 1869. July 10, 1870, Mr. Glidden was married to Jennie M.
Doolittle, who now survives him. He moved to this city in the fall of 1894
where he resided until his death.

The deceased was member of the M. E. Church, joining in 1869 at Brooklyn,
Wis., and has always been a most faithful worker therein. He was a member
of the T. L. Sutphen Post in this city and his presence will be greatly
missed by the comrades of this society. Mr. Glidden served several terms as
Alderman of this city which office he held until his health called for his
resignation from this body.

Mr. Glidden has been a great sufferer for the past two years, and death, no
doubt to him, was a blessing, as his sufferings at times were intense. The
deceased was a man whom it was a pleasure to meet, always making it
pleasant and agreeable to everyone in his company and his taking away will
be mourned by all who knew him.

Besides his wife, he leaves one daughter, Mrs. Ida May Libby, of this city,
and two sons, Burton H. of Brooklyn, and Ezra A. who resides at home, also
three sisters, Mrs. Reuben Palmer of Brookins, S. D., Mrs. Hulet Story of
Milton, Wis., and Mrs. James Devine of Northville, S. D., and three
brothers, Wilbur of Britt, Iowa, Adelbert, of Brookins, S. D., and Daniel
of Brooklyn, Wis., to deeply mourn his loss.

The funeral services will be held at the late home at 2:30 o'clock Friday
afternoon. Interment in the cemetery in this city.
