The 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 tho Ex celsior Gil Mill of this city, and wns a familiar ligure on our streets. He was on tho streets last Friday discharging his duties, and in thc afternoon was forced to go to his home on account of severe internal pains. Ho passed a restless night, and on Saturday morn ing Dr. J. <>. Wiiliite was called to his bedside. His disease, soon developed into; inf tarnation of the bladder, and notwithstanding everything possible was ilone for his relief, ho gradually grew worse until death claimed him as its victim. Mr. Glenn wns born and reared in the Mountain Creek seel ion, and was tin; eldest son of the. late H. Krank Glenn, who died during the civil war. His mother preceded him to the grave about seven years ago. Ile was about 44 years ol' age and had lived in this city fora numberof years. Being left with a widowed mother and a younger brother, Mr. Henry (?lehn, he showed in his youth that he was not a4 raid ol' work, and by his upright character, good judgment, progressive energy made a success ol' everything he undertook. He possessed a ?reinal disposition and a kind heart, mid was ever ready to lend a helping band and speak an encouraging word to his fellowmen. In his boyhood he joined the Baptist Church ami throughout his life was a devoted and faithful mem ber. Twenty yeats ago the deceased married Miss Toxana Harriss, who, with four sons and ono daughter sur vives him, and in their sore bereave ment they have the sympathies of a wilie circle of friends. Hy his death Anderson loses a strictly upright, wor thy citizen. Thismurnnig at 11 o'clock the funeral services were conduct i'll at home by Kev. O. L. Martin, after w hich the Masonic fraternity, of which he was a devoted member, took charge of the remains and, with the honors of that order, laid them away to rest in Silver Brook Cemetery.
