... Walter Morrell and wife, W. R. Shott and wife, and James Lawson and wife, attended the funeral service of Emmett GLOTFELTY last Sunday at the home north of the Jefferson county farm. ...

[Transcriber's note: one obituary identifies Mrs. L. E. CLINKENBEARD as the sister of M. E. GLOTFELTY, the other as his daughter; Mrs. L. E. CLINKENBEARD is Margaret May GLOTFELTY CLINKENBEARD who was born in 1879, and so she cannot be Michael's daughter.]
