IPAVA — Chris Glore passed away at his home on West Main street, Thursday evening, Feb. 6, following a three weeks illness that terminated in pneumonia. Had Mr. Glore lived until March 17, he would have been 75 years of age.
Forty-nine years ago he was united in marriage with Miss Ida Stubblefield who preceded him in death many years ago. Four daughters, Maude, Ethel, Grace and Corda were born to this union and grew to young womanhood. One by one, they, too, crossed the river of death until in the passing of Mrs. Grace Carter in November of 1918, “Uncle Chris” as he was lovingly called, was left alone.
Years ago an accident in the Woolen Mills at this place, left Mr. Glore with but one arm, the one being entirely missing. He did his own housework, raised a beautiful flower garden each year; even built neat houses for his eighty full blood Belgian hares. In home making he was ever assisted by his two sisters, Miss Eva Glore and Mrs. Martha Ashton, who lived near.
The son of Christopher C. and Emily Kirkbride Glore, he was the eldest of nine children and his the first death among the brothers and sisters. He is survived by five sisters, Mrs. Emma Littleton, Mrs. Kate Lindsey, Mrs. Belle Easter, Mrs. Martha Ashton and Miss Eva Glore and three brothers, Fred of Peoria, George of Knoxville and William of Ipava. One granddaughter, Mrs. Lucille Cleer and one great-granddaughter, Margaret Louise Cleer.
Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon from the Christian church. Rev. E. E. Catlin, pastor, officiating.
Mr. Glore was a retired and pensioned R. F. D. carrier and Ipava’s R. F. D. carriers, who are Gomer Codling, Frank Good, Trenton Baumgartner and Pete Shawgo acted as pall bearers, assisted by Harry Brockley and Guy Siders.
