The Review lost the item last week of the death of Mrs. M. Glazebrook, which occurred at Des Moines the 6th inst., at the Home for the Aged, where she has been several years, through the bounty of the Masonic order and the ladies of the Presbyterian church of this city. Her husband died here a number of years ago, after which time she kept boarders until she became disabled by paralysis.

Death of Mrs. Glazebrook

Mrs. Elizabeth Glazebrook died Friday, July 6th, at the “Home for the Aged” in Des Moines. Mrs. Glazebrook had been afflicted with paralysis for some time, and another stroke caused her death on Friday.

By the older citizens she will be remembered as one of the pioneers of Winterset who came to this place and helped to make it what it is today. Her husband, Martin Glazebrook, was one of the progressive and wide awake businessmen of that time. Her home was always a hospitable one and together they worked for the interest of the Presbyterian church, of which they were both members.

After her husband’s death, Mrs. Glazebrook started a private boarding house, and many young men who made their home with her, can testify to her kind and motherly actions toward them.

She was charitable to a fault and finally owing to financial reverses in failing health, she gave up her work here and went to the “Home for the Aged” in Des Moines. Here she remained until her death, always cheerful and glad to see her friends.

Many of these friends met the train Saturday evening, which bore her body here and, after a short service, at the grave, Mrs. Glazebrook was laid to rest beside her husband and her adopted son, Asbury Nosler.

She was a noble woman and bravely fought against the hard life and sorrow that seemed to be her lot. Her patience in the long days of helplessness were always spoken of by the nurses who attended her and she was great esteem in the “Home”.
