Death of Charles Glender

News of the death of Charles Glender did not cause great surprise as his advanced age and feeble health had been generally known and he had been steadily failing for many weeks.  Charley Glender was a pioneer of this neighborhood, was an honest man and had the respect of all.  For several years since the death of his wife he had lived around with his children, spending much of the time at Longton, with his daughter, Mrs. Howland, where he died last Friday.

The remains were brought to Howard and funeral services were held at the Christian church, conducted by Rev. Nichols, M. E. pastor.  The burial in Grace Lawn cemetery, was conducted by E. M. Stanton Post No 23, G. A. R. of which Mrs. Glender was an honored member.

Died, at the home of his daugher, Mrs. Tillie Howland, at Longton, Kansas, at 2: 50 a.m., Saturday, April 8, 1911 Charles William Glander, age 83 years, 11 months, and 5 days.

Charles William Glander was born in Germany in 1827, and moved to America with his parents.  He was united in marriage to Jane Human in 1856.  To this union were born eleven children, one of whom died in infancy.  The surviving children are:  William Glander, Jenniings, Okla., Tillie Howland, Longton, Kansas, James Glander, Spokane, Wahington; Ida Osborne, Fred Glander, Chas. and Hobert Glander, Elk County, Lillie Wieshing, Reece, Kansas; Rosa Dougherty, Severy, Kansas.  His wife departed this life April 9, 1903.
