TWO FORMER GLENWOOD FOLKS PASS AWAY

Our community was saddened again by the passing of another old timer, Mrs. Clara Borde. She lived here a good many years before going to Oregon, where she lived with her daughter, Mrs. Ben Hansen. The family have the sympathy of all the community.
There also was another one that used to live up here, Mr. Cody Chapman. He was buried Monday up here in the Grange Cemetery on the same day. Some of the old timers say, years ago there were two burials in one day up here. The family also has our sympathy.
