Mr. and Mrs. J.L. Pounds lost their little son, Glenn Ira, aged nearly 11 years, at 5 o’clock last Saturday morning, the first day of the year. He had had measles and acute Bright’s disease set in, for which there is practically no know cure. The funeral was held at the Methodist church at 10:30 Monday morning, Rev. J.W. Lewis officiating. The large church was crowded with the many friends of the bereaved family who came to show their respect and mourn with the sorrowing parents. There were a large number of floral offerings, covering the casket and altar rail around the pulpit. Clifford Redfield, Bert Williams, Marshall Tyson and Bruce Gochenour acted as pall bearers. Mr. and Mrs. Pounds have left one son, J.L. Jr., aged eight, who will greatly miss his brother playmate, for they were always together. The grief-stricken parents have the sympathy of their many friends in this their first great sorrow.
