City Business Leader Is Dead

Maurice Gladstone, one of the city's most respected businessmen, died unexpectedly last Thursday, May 27, in his home at 1618 N. Richmond Road. He was 83 years of age.

Apparently in good health, Mr. Gladstone had attended a Shriner dinner earlier, returned home and shortly after midnight prepared for bed. When he failed to answer, Mrs. Gladstone went into the bedroom and found him dead.

The family moved to McHenry from Riverdale, Ill., twenty-seven years ago and founded the Gladstone Department Store on a location farther north on Green Street than the present store. Always progressive, he often set the pace for other businessmen with his efforts to serve the public with a completely modern store.

He was born in Latvia Oct. 28, 1881.

Affiliations in McHenry included membership in McHenry Lodge, AF & AM, and the McHenry Kiwanis Club.

Survivors are his wife, Sadie; one son, Dr. Lee Gladstone; one brother, Steve, of Phoenix, Ariz.; two sisters, Hannah Levine of Chicago and Etta Shapiro of Evanston; and two grandchildren, Evan and Lorna Gladstone, of McHenry. A son, Melvin, died in the European theatre during World War II.

Local arrangements were made by the Peter M. Justen & Son funeral home and the body transferred to the Piser chapel, 5206 Broadway, Chicago. Private services were held Friday morning at 11 o'clock, with burial in Bickur-Cholem cemetery, Forest Park.

The family requests that donations in his memory be made to McHenry hospital or any charity.
