Charles S. Glaspell Dead.
In Point of Service He Was One of the Oldest Passenger Conductors in the West.
Charles S. Glaspell died at his home, 817 Linwood avenue, at 3 p.m. yesterday, of acute pneumonia. He had been ill some time with liver complaint, and in his enfeebled condition was an easy victim of the secondary disorder.
Mr. Glaspell was born in Davenport, Ia., in 1845. At the time of his death he was a passenger conductor on the C., R. I. & P. R.R. and one of the oldest in the West in point service. He had lived in Kansas City about fifteen years. His railroad work began with the Union Pacific in 1867, a quarter century of continuous service.
Mr. Glaspell was one of the most prominent Masons in Missouri. At the time of his death he was a member of Rural lodge, No. 316, A.F. and A.M. ; Orient chapter, No. 102 R.A.M.; Shekinah council, R. and S. M.; Oriental commandery, No 35, K T.; Harmony chapter, O.E.S., of the Scottish Rite bodies of Kansas City, in which he had attained the thirty-second degree, and of Ararat Temple, of the Mystic Shrine. He was past grand commander of Knights Templar in Missouri, and past grand high priest of the grand chapter of Royal Arch Masons of this state. From 1896 to 1898 he published the Orient, a Masonic paper, at this place.
The body will be removed from his late residence to the Scottish Rite cathedral this afternoon and the funeral services of a Knight Kadosh will be held publicly by the Scottish Rite bodies at 9 p.m. The remains will lie in state at the cathedral until 5 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, when they will be taken to the Union depot under the escort of Oriental commandery, K.T., and shipped to his former home, Trenton, Mo., for burial at that place on Monday under the auspices of the Trenton Masonic lodge.
He leaves a widow and one daughter, Miss Dollie Glaspell, of this city, and his mother, who lives at Davenport, Ia.
