LAST RITES HELD FOR FORREST STARR GLOVER
FORREST STARR GLOVER, 56, died at the Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis Saturday morning, July 21, at 12:45 p. m. of congestive heart failure and hypertension. Funeral services were held at Citizen’s Funeral Home in West Memphis at 3 p. m. Monday. Interment was in the Crittenden Memorial Cemetery. The Rev. Ray Langley officiated.
Mr. Glover was born in Jackson County, Arkansas, Sept. 21, 1894, and moved to Earle in the early 1900’s, having been a resident for approximately 45 years.
Forrest’s talents were many and varied. He could fix a typewriter, an adding machine, a Frigidaire or airplane. The Saturday Evening Post published an article a few weeks back which might well have been dedicated to his activities. He was the last (in this neighborhood) of a long line of “tinkerers” to whom the children, as well as grown folks went for assistance.
For years he followed the carpentry trade both as a workman and contractor. In later years he chose a less strenuous mode of existence. He had a host of friends in Earle and over the Tri-States, which he covered in active life, who are grieved at his departure.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Gertrude Glover, a son William of Earle; three daughters, Mrs. J. M. Blankenship of Crawfordsville, Mrs. C. J. Eden, Dallas, Texas, Mrs. W. D. Willard, Marion and Mrs. Cole of Parkin. Two brothers, A. F. and L. C. Glover of Earle; one sister Mrs. C. W. Hite of Parkin.
Pallbearers were, Albert Forehand, Fred Arthur, Jimmy Fullwood, Dalton Lancaster, Aubrey Lancaster Jr. and Alfred Griggs.
