It will be a surprise to most of the old friends of "Uncle Charlie Glines" as he was familiarly known, to learn that he departed this life, at the home of his son, Earnest Glines, of Neola lst Friday, September 26th. The cause of death was a general breakdown that began about two years ago, while he was living at Ogden. He had the misfortune to fall down two flights of stairs and his shoulder was broken, he was also badly shaken up. From that time his health has been anything but good.

The last illnes began about two weeks ago when his wife and daughter were summoned from Ogden and other relatives hastened from Vernal to his bedside. For a time he seemed to improve but last Friday the end came.

The remains were brought to Maeser and prepared for burial, the funeral being held Monday under the auspices of Maeser Ward. Bishop George D. Wilkins, William O'Neil and Nelson Merkley were the speakers, giving words of comfort and consolation to the bereaved relatives.

In disposition Mr. Glines was cheerful and optimistic. He was a good citizen and a hard worker. Numorous public responsibilities came to him both in a church and in a civic capacity. For years he presided over the Elder's Quorum of the Uintah Stake. He was precinct Justice of the Peace of Maeser for a long time.
