Born in a farm house 2 1/2 miles north of Amoret (Just south of Amsterdam, Missouri). Baptism (sprinkle) Mulberry United Presbyterian Church and Baptism (Emersed) Feb 2, 1932 at Belleview Baptist Church by Dr. Robert G. Lee.
Her words: "Was reared in the United Presbyterian Church. Made my confession of faith at age 9 in a Delay camp meeting held in Amoret, Missouri. Following Sunday mother took me before the Session and they examined my experience and took me into the church fellowship where I attended until I married at 22 years. After coming to Memphis, TN we found Belleview Baptist more in keeping with our early teachings and joined where I Feb 1932 and have been faithful member there all these many years. Taught in the Junior department 15 years and now supply for an adult senior class - never had time for social affiliations as I worked. We reared three lovely daughters that have taken their place being good Christians, wives and mothers of our 11 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren of which we are very proud. 5 of our grandchildren have graduated from college and the rest are on their way. The eldest grandson was recently ordained to the Ministry, and one hoping to enter the Seminary soon. All have good singing voices and all so far have used them only to praise the Lord. One of our grand-daughters has a great talent with the violin and is being trained well." Gladeus
Gladeus was wonderful at playing the piano, as all her sisters were. She laughed as she told the story of when she was little her mother bought a piano through a catalog, it arrived in a wooden box crate. The girls dismantled the box, burned the wood, all the time their father was out working in the fields. When her father came in and saw the piano he exclaimed it would have to be returned. (due to the cost) They told him, "but we can't because we don't have the crate to return it!" So it stayed. They all learned to play with great delight. Gladeus story as told to Helen and Ann 1986
