DR. GLAZIER
SERVICES SET
WEDNESDAY
Funeral services for Dr. William F. Glazier, prominent in medical, civic and social circles of Carlsbad for 42 years, will be held at 4 p.m. Wednesday from Grace Episcopal Church, with the Rev. W.H. Wolfrum, pastor, officiating.
Burial will be in Carlsbad Cemetery.
Dr. Glazier, who was born Jan. 4, 1882 in Pontiac, Ill., died Monday night in a local hospital at the age of 79. West Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
The doctor received a degree in pharmacy and later a medical degree from the University of Illinois shortly after the turn of the century. He practiced for four years in South Dakota before going to New York to take post-graduate work in surgery. He studied further in Chicago.
He and his wife, Thelma, moved to Carlsbad in 1919, and he was a practicing physician and surgeon here until retiring in 1938. Their home is at 810 N. Canal.
He was a member of the Episcopal Church, a life member of Eddy Lodge 21 AF&AM, receiving his 50-year pin in 1959; a member of the American College of Surgeons and the New Mexico Medical Society.
Survivors, in addition to his wife, are two brothers, John T. of Denver, Colo., and J.A. of St. James Minn.; six grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
The body will lie in state at the funeral parlor until time for services, at which time it will be transferred to the church. The family has requested that flowers be omitted.
Just seven months ago Dr. Glazier was honored at the annual doctors' dinner of St. Francis Hospital, with a sterling plate and a life membership in the hospital association, for his key role in growth of the institution.
When he came to this city in the years immediately after World War I, a flu epidemic was in progress. Noting inadequate hospital facilities, he pressured for expansion of facilities; the result being the structure which still stands as the old wing of the parochial hospital.
During the 20 years of active practice here he was considered a pioneer of 'modern surgical technique.
