Mr. Louis Glamkowski passed away at the Neillsville hospital on Monday morning July 14, 1952 at 5 a.m., after a lingering illness. He had reached the age of 88 years and 5 days.

The deceased was born in Poland on July 8, 1864 and came to the U. S. in 1881, locating in Brooklyn, N.Y., finding employment in the large mills.

His passing is deeply mourned by his two living sons, Stanley of Thorp and Tony of Ely, Minn.; five grandchildren, Louis and Stanley Smigaj of Chicago, Elaine Lutz of Thorp, Edwin Glamkowski of Connecticut and Alyce Glamkowski of Chicago, and five great-grandchildren.
