Lenox Boy Dies in Ft. Dodge
The community was shocked when the news came over the wire from Ft. Dodge Monday afternoon that Glenn Willits had died at 2:30. Mr. Willits had been ill but a short time. The first that the relatives here knew of his condition was from word sent from Ft. Dodge, where Glenn had been the past two or three months, on Tuesday of last week, stating that he was ill. His brother, Burr, went at once to the bedside of the sick man and notified the parents by letter that Glenn was somewhat improved and thought he would get along all right. The symptoms later became alarming and the patient rapidly grew worse until Monday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock when death came.
The body of the deceased arrived in Lenox on Tuesday afternoon and was taken to the home of his parents. Funeral services will be held at 2:00 o’clock this (Thursday) afternoon, at the M. E. Church, the pastor, Rev. W. A. Morgan having charge. Interment will be made in Fairview cemetery.

Former Herald-Review Man Dead
Word was received here last Thursday of the death of Glenn Willits, formerly of this village who died at Fort Dodge, Iowa, on June 7th. The funeral was held at his home in Lenox on June 10th at two o’clock and interment made in the cemetery at that place. The cause of his death was cancer of the stomach. From this and from the heart trouble, which it induced, he had suffered for some considerable time, though he was confined to his bed but for a week before his death. The deceased was in his thirty-fifth year.
Glenn Willits was well known in Itasca County. He taught school in various neighborhoods hereabouts and made many friends among parents and teachers. For over a year he was connected with the Herald-Review in an editorial capacity. During the last summer he made a trip in the interests of the paper to practically every locality in the country. He was a hard worker and faithful to every duty which was assigned to him. As a journalist he had ability and did excellent work along many lines. He was interested in every good activity which concerned the town and was a prominent worker in the Methodist church of this village. He was a young man who will be greatly missed not only in this, but in other communities where he had resided.---Grand Rapids (Minnesota) Herald-Review.
