GLEN A. FOSTER
On Saturday July 28 1934 at 8:30a.m. Glen A. son of Anderson and Etta Foster, aged 23 years, 2 months, and 7 days, was called home.
On Monday preceeding his death, Glen came home, sick with tonsilitis, developing into pneumonia and complications.
All was done that loving hands and physical aid could do, but God in his mercy said, "You have suffered enough, Glen, come Home," and he left us.
Glen was a loving son and brother and always had a smile and a greeting for everyone.
Near the end, he asked Brother Parr to lead in a word of prayer.
He leaves to mourn his departure, a loving mother and father, two sisters, Hazel and Blanche, two brothers Ward and Carl, an aged grandfather, three nieces and one nephew. Also a very dear friend, Miss Ruth White, who was away at the time of his sickness and death. Two sisters, Opal and Alma preceded him in death.
A loved one from us is gone,
A voice we loved is still,
A place is vacant in our home
Which can never be filled.
Pallbearers: Dale White, Basil Shepard, Ray Shepard, Cloyd Nickerson, Floyd Robertson, Harl Neff.
Flower girls: Christina Davisson, Alice Hobbs, Christine Mitchell, Lucille Terry, Lyda Mae Planck, Erma Lee Dale.
Funeral services and interment at Christian Union, conducted by the Rev. Parr.
