Thc announcement of the death of Mr. J. Lawrence Glenn, which occurred at his home in this city yesterday at noon, was a great shock to his many friends and acquaintances, very few of whom knew that he was ill. Mr. Glenn was the purchasing agent of the Ex celsior Oil Mill of this city, and was a familiar ligure on our streets. He was on the streets last Friday discharging his duties, and in the afternoon was forced to go to his home OP account of severe internal pains. Ho passed a restless night, and on Saturday morn ing Dr. J. 0. Wilhitc was called to his bedside. Dis disease soon developed into .'incarnation of the bladder, and notwithstanding everything possible was done for bis relief, he gradually grew worse un til death claimed him as its victim. Mr. Glenn was born and reared in the Mountain Creek section, and was the eldest son of the late B. frank Glenn, who died during the civil war. His mother preceded him to the grave about, seven years ago. Ile was about 14 years of age and had lived in this city fora number of yeats. Being left with a widowed mother and a younger brother. Mr. Henry Glenn, he showed in his youth that J ie was not afraid of work, and by his upright ciiaracier, good judgment, progressive energy made a success ol' everything he undertook. He possessed a geinal disposition and a kind hear:, and was ever ready lo lend a . helping hand and speak an encouraging word to his fellowmen. In his boyhood he joined the Baptist Church and throughout his life was a devoted and faithful mem ber. Twenty years ago the deceased married Miss Texan:! Purriss. who, with four sons and one daughter sur vives him. and in their sore bereave ment they have the sympathies of a wide circle of friends. By his death Anderson loses a strictly upright, wor thy citizen. This morning at 11 o'clock the funeral services were conducted at home by Kev. < K L. Martin, after which the .Masonic I'm'terni ty, ol: which he was a devoted member, look charge of t he remains and, with the honors of that order, laid them away to rest in Silver Brook Cemetery.
