One of Bubbie's friends had a torn wallet picture (the football picture above). The school, townsfolk's, etc., got together & decided to use this

picture to pay tribute to Bubbie, by repairing the picture, getting it enlarged & using wood from a window taken from the old Chambers home

(the Chambers home that has now been restored) to make a frame. At his funeral, which was held in the school auditorium, the picture was

Presented  to the family.

Our   Gang

By Ben Festervan

The Beaumont Enterprise February 25, 1942

 

    Our Gang turns aside this week from its usual mood of fun making to pay   tribute to a grand little soldier who   left   us  last  week.

Dalton  (Bubbie) Glasscock, died last   Thursday morning   after   a three  weeks  struggle in  the hospital.  Appendicitis was followed by

peritonitis and  then double pneumonia added  its terrible blow to finally overcome the greatest  fighting  heart  we  have ever seen.

A fine doctor, three grand nurses, a host of relatives and   friends stood by and did everything known to Medical Science to aid in the fight,

but the grim reaper won.  "Bubbie” never attained great riches.  He never became a national hero.  He was not famous because of outstanding

achievement  in any special field, but every day of his twenty years added some friend to his acquaintance,  because he was a friend to

all who knew him.  More than five hundred of his friends were present at his funeral.  A stranger at the services would have thought a great

statesman or man of  fame  was being  honored with last rites, but it was only a young man who dared to  live a clean  humble life of  smiling

service to his  fellowmen. The floral offerings, the sympathizing tears, the sincere prayers of his many friends, attest and pay tribute to his good life.

May the Lord bless, sustain and comfort those who mourn his loss, and may his life be an inspiration to others to live as he lived.
