Funeral services for Edward James Glover, longtime Taylor county resident, held September 9 at Shum-Novinger Funeral Home, were conducted by Rev. Ivo Randels. Mr. Glover died at his home in Bedford Sept. 5, 1964, at the age of 83 years seven months and 23 days. Interment was at Bedford Cemetery, Bedford.

The following obituary was included in the services:

Edward James Glover, son of Allan C. and Audrey Ouderkirk Glover, was born in Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 13, 1881.

He and his brother were orphaned at an early age, and they were then welcomed into the home of Ethan Oxley of Siam, Ia., where they lived until they established their own homes.

In early manhood Edward accepted Christ as his Saviour and was baptized into Christ in the Christian Church of Siam, Ia.

He was united in marriage to Iva [Alice] Stickelman Jan. 28, 1903. To this union were born one daughter, Mrs. Orval (Ruby) Allen of New Market, Ia., two sons, Orville of Coffeyville, Kansas, and Marvin of Toronto, Ia.

He was engaged in farming in the Siam and Bedford communities for a number of years until moving to Bedford, Ia. in 1934. He was active in business here until 1962 when failing health forced his retirement.

He was preceded in death by his father and mother and one sister.

He is survived by his wife Iva, three children, Ruby, Orville and Marvin; a brother, William of Calif.; seven grandchildren, Mrs. Clark (Lucile) Miller, Lincoln, Nebr., Edward Allen of Hopkins, Mo., Frederick Glover, Tacna, Ariz., Mrs. Willard (Lawandawe) Severn, Ore., Marla Ann, Mary Louise, and Maria Rae Glover of Toronto, Ia.; nine great grandchildren, Allen and Lana Miller; David, Ruth, Ruby and Patricia Severn; Susan Lynn, James Edward and Frederick Allen Glover; and two daughters-in-law, Verda and Opal.

He enjoyed life and being with people. His deepest interest was in this family and friends, and he was always ready and willing to offer a helping hand to anyone. He will be sadly missed by his family and his many friends.
