CHARLES J. GLASS - Charles J. Glass; prominent pioneer citizen of the town of Wyalusing and village of Bagley, was born in Ohio on October 31, 1853, and died at his home in Bagley, Wis., February 9, 1926, aged 72 years, 3 months and 9 days,
When eight years of age, he came to the town of Wyalusing with his parents, Louis and Cecile Glass, who were among the well-known and greatly respected pioneers who established a community and pleasant living conditions in the rugged wilderness. Here in a land of beauty, richly endowed by nature with ail that man needs or could desire, he passed the greater part of his life.
At the age of 18, he went to La Crosse, having chosen the avocation of Tdralra. be moTf mm Pimm iii. iifo WAt thS elM?en htto La Crosse, having chosen the avocation of a blacksmith, and for five years was engaged in the trade in La Crosse and Preston, MN. He then returned to the home community in 1877, and took up farming, which he followed with intelligent industry until failing health compelled him to retire to the village of Bagley.
In 1877, Mr. Glass married Miss Phillippine Mueller. Their happy union was blessed with five children, who with his wife survive him. They are Fred, Luna, and Lena (Mrs. L.P. Beardsley), John of Minneapolis, and Carrie (Mrs. Luther Orr) of Arlington, Washington.
Mr. Glass was a man to whom his fellow citizens naturally turned for counsel and public service. He possessed an admirable fund of common sense, and his upright character and honorable career to all his business relations inspired the confidence of his townsmen. He -was chosen repeatedly to serve in public positions of honor and trust, and performed his public duties faithfully and efficiently. At different periods he was the town assessor, town treasurer, member of the town board, and chairman of the town board. After moving to the village, he was active in village affairs. He was one of the. organizers of the Bagley State Bank, and was a director and vice president of that flourishing institution, which is accomplishing so much in the way of financial helpfulness to the surround-community.
Mr. Glass had been in failing health for several years before his demise, and as disease claimed him, and . as disease claimed him and limited his activities, he was forced reluctantly to give up many of his duties and retire more and more to the privacy of his own home., where he was tenderly cared for by his faithful wife and daughter Lulu, assisted by the other children.
He was an active and devoted member of the Lutheran church and led a faithful Christian life. He was a kind and devoted husband and father, and endeavored to rear his child in a way that they would become useful members of society. His teachings and example bore good fruit, and it was a great satisfaction to him in his declining years to see them take up life's duties seriously and honorably.
A man of modest and unassuming nature, Mr. Glass was naturally a lover of home life-and enjoyed the cultivation of his fertile fields. He was not self-seeking, and his townsmen chose him for public service entirely through recognition of his merit and integrity.
Funeral services for Mr. Glass were held from the home to the Lutheran church on Thursday, Feb. 11, and were attended by a large congregation of relatives and friends. Prof. M. Fritschel of Dubuque, Iowa, preached the sermon, paying a high tribute to the life, character, and Christian citizenship of the deceased. Interment was made in the Bagley cemetery, beside many old townsmen., who for many years had stood shoulder to shoulder with Mr. Glass in carrying along the duties of life.
Life's work having been faithfully accomplished, may he rest in peace.
