FRANK GLARDON, VETERAN OF CIVIL WAR,
IS CALLED

The ranks of the Civil War Veterans of Butler county
were thinned once again today with the passing of
Frank Glardon, age 84, well known farmer of
Darrtown who died at 9 o'clock Wednesday morning
of complications which developed from a sunstroke
he suffered two weeks ago.
Mr. Glardon was very active until two weeks ago
when he was overcome by the heat, while helping his
son, Ernest Glardon, with the harvest.
Born at West Chester, Mr. Glardon had been a resident
of Butler county practically his entire life. He at one
time farmed near Oxford, but for the last 20 years
had lived at Darrtown.
Although Mr. Glardon never joined the G.A.R. he
was always proud of the fact that he was a Civil War
veteran, having enlisted when only a boy.
Mr. Glardon is survived by the widow Mrs. Lydia
Glardon who resides at Darrtown, four sons, William,
Ernest, Lee and Ellis and on granddaughter.
Funeral services for Mr. Glardon will be held Friday
afternoon at the home with Rev. Franklin G. Markley
of Norwood, former paster of the Lindenwald M.E.
church here officiating. Interment will be made in the
Darrtown cemetery.
