IDA MAE GLASGOW
Ida Mae Brown was born October 9, 1864, near Lewis, Iowa, in a log cabin, but moved with her parents to Atlantic, Iowa, when still a small child, where her father, J.A. Brown, practiced law for many years. When 18 years of age she married James O. Russell and moved back near Lewis on her old birthplace.
To this union seven children were born, all of whom are living, Maude E. Lee, of Blencoe, Iowa; Grace W. Whitmore, of Omaha; William H. Russell, of Hemet, California; Olive M. Taylor, Roy R., Glenn L., and Josephine I. Russell, all of Omaha. These survive her with a sister, Mrs. Oscar Duncan, and three brothers, Frank Brown of Washington; James A., of Fort Madison, Iowa; and L.C. Brown, of Chicago, her husband dying in 1906, and was buried in Omaha, where they had lived in his later years.
In 1916 she married Hugh Glasgow, of Florence, Nebraska, who also survives her.
Florence has been her home since then, except for occasional visits to Blencoe, Iowa.
On June 20th she went to Blencoe to attend her eldest grandson's graduation exercises, but was taken seriously ill immediately on her arrival and was unable to attend. For three weeks her daughter, Mrs. C.H. Lee, and Miss Olive Williamson, R.N., who makes her home there, worked to save the life of a dear mother, who was ready to meet her Judge, and who died at 8 a.m, June 14th, pleading for "Father, O take Me." She died as she had lived, thinking of others, leaving a message that she was ready to go, and we who know her here in Florence know she was. Although everything loving hands and thoughtful care could do, God saw fit to claim her, so she was laid to rest in Graceland Cemetery, Blencoe, Iowa, June 15th, in a gray casket covered with lovely flowers, gifts from her Florence and Blencoe friends.
