"G" Obituaries


A Special to Pensacola Journal of August 12 says:
D. T. Glasgow, a well-known citizen of Florala, died sometime before Midnight, Sunday
at the home of G. H. Meinike, where he was living. Sunday afternoon, Mr. Glasow seemed
 in the best of health and was on the street talking with friends. During the night, Mr. Meinike
discovered that all was not right in Mr. Glasgow's room and although the hour was late he called
in neighbors and they summoned a physician, who pronounced Mr. Glasgow dead.
       It is supposed that heart failure was the cause of his death. The deceased has numerous
friends in this community and in West Florida towns that will regret his death.
He came to Florala many years ago and worked as a mechanic with Capt. Eliot, now dead. Mr. Glasgow went from here to Vilas, Fla., where he did a great deal of work. He also accompanied Mr. Eliot to Milton, Fla., and was employed at his turpentine plant near there for quite a while, returning to Florala a few months ago. Although he had the happy faculty at all times and under all conditions attending strictly to his own affairs, the deceased was known as a generous man.
          Mr. Glasgow's body is being held awaiting some message from Georgia or North Carolina as to what steps to take in regard to burial. His former home was Goldsboro, N.C.
