WORTHY GLOVER DIES AT R.CITY Tuesday
Services for Prominent 50-year old Vale Farmer to be held at Vale This Afternoon.
Funeral services will be conducted from the Vale school gymnasium this (Thursday) afternoon for Worth W. Glover, 50, lifetime resident of Butte county and former Newell homesteader and Reclamation bureau and State Highway employee, who passed away in a Rapid City hospital Tuesday after a short illness. He entered the hospital about two weeks ago to undergo a major operation, but failed to recover.

Mr. Glover was born at Vale on November 27, 1890, and grew to manhood in that community. He was united in marriage to Helma Saukko on February 1, 1914, at Newell, and in 1917 they homesteaded near Newell. He was employed by the Reclamation Bureau for several years.

He was an active member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows of Newell for several years and a member of the Modern Woodmen of America. He was also a member of the Vale Community Club and school bus driver for several years. Worthy Glover was a great lover of home and family, and his first thought was always of others.

Freda Klingler Haskovec Memories of Worthy, Feb. 2005:
"Grampa's brother but he never really got into doing the
cowboy thing. He was the sweetest man... He loved his wife, Aunt Helma, and his kids and he was always SO nice to us kids. His life was snuffed out way before it should have
been. He had a ruptured appendix and was in the hospital with tubes running in and out of him and I guess he got sort of delirious or something and pulled all the tubes out and he died as a result. I really liked Uncle
Worth. I think there might have been sort of a rivalry between Grampa and Uncle Worth but I think it was only on Grampa's side as he sort of did that kind of thing. I remember one time....(Uncle W's daughter) was out
partying and I guess she knew better than go home "half in the bag" as it were, so she knocked on our door in the middle of the night and was sicker than a dog. The next morning Grampa was on the rampage big time! He was
going to let that brother of his know what his kid was up to! Well, my mother got him calmed down and told him he wasn't going to tell anyone anything and I don't think he ever did. I wish Uncle Worth could have lived
a longer life - the world would have been a better place and the Glover family probably would have benefited from his being around more."

The Vale fire department was called into action last Saturday when fire was discovered in a cellar at the W.W. Glover home, which was being used as a smoke house. The blaze was put under control before much damage was done to the house or meat.
