W. A. GLADFELTER DEAD
William Arthur Gladfelter, 72, a veteran practitioner of progressive farming methods in Lyon county, died at 6 o'clock this morning in the Newman Memorial County hospital.
Funeral arrangements have not been completed.
W. A. Gladfelter was stricken several weeks ago at his well-known farmstead in the Neosho and Allen creek bottoms along Highway 99, one mile north of Emporia. For many years the Gladfelter farmstead, approached by an elm canopied lane from the highway and his well-cultivated field on a curve leading to the south approach of the Allen creek bridge were enjoyed by thousands of Emporians. On pleasant days when they drove to the country to view corp prospects, they usually passed the Gladfelter farm.
Always a hard-working tiller of the soil, Bill Gladfelter was among the vanguard of early-bird farmers to prepare and seed his fields in the spring times. On his fertile bottom-land along the highway, he was a pioneer in growing hybrid corn beginning his first crops with early frost-proof varieties. He also was an early producer of soybeans and his fine stands of alfalfa often were the pride of the town and community.
Mr. Gladfelter was active in farm organization work. In 1914 he was one of the organizers and a charter member of the Lyon County Farm Bureau. He also served as president of the organization and served on many agricultural betterment committee and assisted in setting up here the county organization for the administrating the federal farm program. Mr. Gladfelter was a member of the First Presbyterian church.
He was born July 29, 1876, in Canal Winchester, Ohio. He had lived near Emporia for 36 years after moving here from David City, Neb. He married Mary A. Yost on February 27, 1900, Shelbyville, Ill.

C. Gladfelter, 1730 Rural, former secretary of the Emporia Chamber of Commerce; three sisters, Mrs. Charles Yost, Rt. 2, Emporia; Mrs. Mary Runkel, of Shelbyville, Ill., and Mrs. O. I.
