          He was quite a prominent lodgeman, being a charter member of the Lewis Creek I.O.O.F. and a member of the Geneva K of P lodge.  He had been a member of the Lewis Creek Baptist church for several years.  Mr. Glackman was known to everyone as a loving friend, a kind and indulgent husband and father and a man who was always true to his high ideals and principles.  There is genuine sorrow at his death.
          The funeral and burial arrangements are in charge of Stewart & Fix, undertakers.
