Herald-Dispatch – March 6, 1886

The funeral of James Glore was held at his late home, southeast of the city, Monday morning at 10 o'clock. Elder J.W. Tyler was the officiating clergyman and the services were impressive. The attendance of friends and neighbors were large. The procession moved to Mt. Gilead cemetery where the body was interred according to the ritual of the Grand Army of the Republic. Capt. Geo. S. Durfee read the ritual, and a detachment of Dunham Post No. 141, G.A.R., fired a salute over the grave. The old veterans then stacked their guns and covered the body of their dead comrade. The services were thus ended. The pall bearers were John R. Miller, D. A. Maffitt, Jasper Brewer, Andrew Wayts, John Ward and Frank Ralston.
Mr. Glore's illness was of little more than a week's duration, and his death was probably due to a wound which he received while in the war. He had suffered from lung trouble ever after he was mustered out of the service, and drew a pension. He was a jolly man in the face of misfortunes, and had many friends who regret to hear of his death.
