Mr. CONGLETON has been a member of the Dirgio Masonic Lodge of Haddam for thirty-five years. He also held memberships in the Haddam I.O.O.F. Lodge, the Order of the Eastern Star and the Woodman Lodges for many years. Although Mr. CONGLETON lived to a ripe old age, the years were kind too, as years seemed to have little effect upon him. He gave more in service and consideration to those around him than the average man. He made no pretense of life, he walked the common road and helped to lift the load for many around him. His cheerful disposition helped to brighten the day for others who became discouraged along their weary way. He lived the truth so far as he could see; he had faith in God and his
fellowman. Throughout the years of his life he was a great lover of little
children and he was especially happy when he could associate with his During the years that he lived in Lincoln, he was a constant
contributor to the Father Flannigan's Boy's Home. Seven years ago, Mr. CONGLETON came to Haddam and has shared the home of his sister, Miss Florene CONGLETON, until the time of his passing. He is survived by one brother, W.S. CONGLETON, Haddam; four sisters,
Miss Florence CONGLETON His parents, three brothers and one sister have preceded him in death.
His death leaves a vacancy in the hearts of his family circle and friends,
who will cherish his memory. The Misses Grace FETROW and Lois PLAUMAN and W.S. STEARMS sang,
accompanied at the piano by Mrs. John BRICK. Nephews of Mr. CONGLETON
served as pallbearers and nieces as Members of the Masonic Lodge attended in a body. |
