Page 18 as toast then on the dreamland. Many happy memories
come from that old farm house on the prairie.
Also some that are not so happy. Grandma Glessner died on March 15, 1915 in her home in Okobojo. After her death Grandpa stayed with us most of the time. My recollection of these years is pretty peace meal so we’ll not spend too much time other then in a general way. One thing you might be interested in is a funeral. I don’t remember the details but Willis filled me in on it a few years ago and this is how it was: Grandpa Glessner died on February 12, 1920 in his bed in the front room (living room) of our house. He was 80 years old and probably caught the flu or a bad cold and just couldn’t get over it. Aunt Kitty had come from Pierre to help take care of him and on the night he died Aunt Kitty and Willis were setting up with him. |
