The deceased is survived by the father and mother, Joseph G. and Olive Cade Glascock, one brother, Guy, a sister Miss Edith and a host of other relatives and friends. The following tribute was prepared and read by a friend and classmate: Friendships grow and ripen steadily with the years. They have become part of our lives and we accept them with sweet content and glad confidence. We are rested and inspired by certain comradeship. Every human life planted by God on His earth is a piece of his handiwork placed here to do His work. Dot's Mission has been performed; her life has grown and blossomed for those about her. Her noble and … refinement was bred in year not in moments. The words which she whispered into the air started vibration that will quiver forever and commonest ways will do likewise. During the 33 short years she traversed this earth she was possessed with a sunny disposition which enabled her to cope with the things she often desired, but she attained things greater than she imagined. Her school days were filled with the sweet sunny ways which characterized her every day life and the class of 1903 was made stronger and better by her having been a member. She spent much time in reading and studying having a thirst for greater knowledge. She possessed great literary taste and was mindful of its cultivating. During her school days she listened to the teaching of God as well and in her 17th year she prepared herself in God's school to do His work here on earth as well as in Heaven. She never lost sight of her beloved Master and brought others to His side. Dot loved all His handiwork. His domestic pets and flowers were her friends and companions. She was able to read love and beauty in them all. She always plucked a thistle and planted a flower when she thought a flower would grow. A cheerful spirit, a smiling countenance and a soothing voice was cultivated by her and the sweet smile the subdued speech and the hopeful mind were her conquerors. We must transplant the life of our friend Dot in the Kingdom of Heaven and be content with the good influence she casts over us. 'Tis said the recollection of a friend we admired is a great force to save us from evil and to prompt us to good. Such is the teaching we should receive from the life that was once with us. Dot often said that she could not conceive of the beauty of Heaven since God had made such a beautiful footstool as the earth.. After viewing the beauty of the earth for 33 years she is now able to attain that concept and we believe that Dot is helping to beautify the brightest Heaven of invention …
