WAR VETERAN AGED 90, DEAD
JONATHAN GLASS, aged 90, died at 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon in the East Liverpool hospital, following a lingering illness of kidney trouble combined with the infirmities attendant upon advanced age.
The deceased was removed to the East Liverpool hospital one week ago. For two years prior to that time he had been residing at the Ohio soldiers’ and sailors’ home at Sandusky, O. He was born in Sewickley, Pa., and spent the early years of his life there. When the Civil war broke out he enlisted at Johnstown, Pa., in Co. L. fourth Pennsylvania cavalry and served throughout three years of the struggle.
Following the war Mr. Glass with his family removed to this city where he has since resided. He was a boat builder by trade. He is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Hattie Clark of East Liverpool, and two sons, George Glass of Toronto and Wm. J. Glass of Wellsville. His wife preceded him in death two years ago.
The body was brought to this city this morning and taken to the home of his son, Wm. J. Glass of 1520 Commerce street, where funeral services will be conducted at 3 o’clock Wednesday afternoon. Rev. West, pastor of the Free Methodist church of Martin’s Ferry, O., will officiate. Interment will be made in Spring Hill cemetery.
The Ladies of the G. A. R. will hold flag services at the home at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday.
