Glen Barclay, son of William Everett and Maude (Alexander) Barclay, was born May 28, 1911, near Leadmine, Missouri. He departed this life for his Heavenly home, on April 17, 2002, at Christian Healthcare South, in Lebanon, Missouri, at the age of ninety years, ten months, and twenty days.
On July 12, 1932, he was united in marriage with Helen Edith Norman. They would have celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary, this year.
He was preceded in death by his parents; four brothers, Guy, Gibb, Rue, and Charles; and two sisters, Truma, and Anna Ruth.
Glen is survived by his loving wife, Helen; one son, Glen Neal, of Lebanon, Missouri; one daughter, Claudia Ruth Stubblefield, and her husband, C.A., of Stoutland, Missouri. Four sisters, Alta McCulloch, Alma Wilson, Velga Moore, all of Lebanon, Missouri; Alice Claxton, of Eldon, Missouri; two sisters-in-law, Charlene Barclay, of Lebanon, Missouri, and Zedith Barclay, of Portland, Oregon. One daughter-in-law, Sammie Jo Barclay, of Lebanon, Missouri.
Six grandchildren: Charla Beth O'Dea, and husband, Bill, of Belle Fourche, South Dakota: Kevin Stubblefield, Shannon Barclay, Melissa Bollig, all of Lebanon, Missouri, Melanie Coffman, of Springfield, Missouri; and Shantelle Posten, of Richland, Missouri. Also surviving are 14 great-grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. Many, many nieces, nephews, and a host of cousins, and dear friends also survive.
Born and raised in the Lead Mine community, Glen was about 16 when he moved to rural Laclede County with his family. He worked at many different jobs, as a young man; later helped his wife's parents Mr. and Mrs. Harry Norman, on their farms. In 1936, Glen and Helen moved to California, where he worked in the oil industry. Upon returning to Laclede County, in late 1938, Glen began construction work at Fort Leonard Wood…that winter taking his huge draft horse team, "Caper and Barney" there, since the mud was so deep, they could not use motor vehicles to haul lumber and supplies. Glen was so proud to show his team's ability in this endeavor.
Later, Glen served as a Lebanon Policeman…even foiling an attempted bank robbery - where he was shot at, and his squad car was hit by multiple bullets.
In 1943, Glen began his career as a contract mail carrier on the old Linn Creek Star Route…the same route which his grandfather, Samuel Houston Alexander, had carried on horse-back, before the 1890's. Glen was a faithful postal employee for almost 50 years…retiring with honors, and a big proclamation for the State of Missouri…as having served the longest as a Star Route carrier.
Known as a champion breeder of all types of registered hunting dogs, he was happy to welcome buyers from all across the nation. A great hunter, and fisherman, he enjoyed the rugged Missouri Ozarks, with all the wild game, and the beautiful rivers and lakes.
Since the age of 10, Glen was well-known as an old-time fiddler. He did not read music, and was self-taught, on the violin and guitar…noting that he could play almost 700 songs "by heart"…and, he had all the titles written down in his 'little black book'. Playing for square dances, weddings, pie suppers and all sorts of events…Glen was happiest when playing music with his brothers…Gibb, Guy, Rue, and other family members. All the siblings were talented musicians and singers…the "Barclay Family Music Parties" were known far and wide, as a fun place to be.
Glen was baptized into the Friendship Christian Church, in the Auglaize neighborhood, North of Lebanon. He was a long-time member of the I.O.O.F. Lodge, in Lebanon. He was the family Historian, and loved telling stories of his pioneer grandparents, who were settlers in Laclede and Dallas Counties.
A loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, Glen shall be sadly missed, but fondly remembered by all his family and many friends.
A memorial has been established in honor of Mr. Barclay for the Lebanon Humane Society, as well as the Kinderhook Regional Library Fund. Donations may be made at Holman-Howe Funeral Home, 320 S. Adams Ave., Lebanon, MO, 65536.
