Pioneer Plainsman Succumbs Early Yesterday at Daughter's Home in Lowemont.
Daniel C. Gladden, 73 years old, pioneer plainsman, a resident of Leavenworth county for more than half a century, and at one time superintendent of the country's poor farm, died early yesterday morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Fred {Bertha Estelle} Laudenschlager, in Lowemont. Death was caused by a general breakdown.
Daniel C. Gladden was born November 8, 1843, in Wisconsin. He came to Kansas in 1859 and shortly after his arrival was employed as a driver of government teams. He took many supply trains across the state before the advent of railroads.
Besides the daughter at whose home the death occurred, three daughters, Mrs. Frank {Laura Mae} Taschetta, Mrs. Jesse Johnson and Mrs. John C. {Margaret Elizabth} Day, and four sons, William O., Charles C., Daniel C., and Arthur P., survive him.
The body has been taken to the chapel of the J. C. Davis Undertaking Company and the funeral, which will be private, will be held from there at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon with the Rev. B. E. Parker of the Christian church officiating. Burial will be made in the Mount Muncie Cemetery.
