Notes:

Daniel C Gladden, 73 years old, pioneer plainsman, a resident of Leavenworth county for more than a half century, and at one time superintendent of the county's poor farm, died early yesterday morning [16 Jan 1917] at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Fred Laudenschlager, in Lowemont. Death was caused by a general breakdown. [He] was born November 8, 1843 in Wisconsin. He came to Kansas in 1859 and shortly after his arrival was employed as a driver of government teams. He took many supply trains across the state before the advent of railroads. Besides the daughter at whose home the death occurred, three daughters, Mrs. Frank Taschetta, Mrs. Jesse Johnson and Mrs. John C. Day, and four sons, William O., Charles C., Daniel C., and Arthur P., survive him. The body has been taken to the chapel of the J. C. Davis Undertaking Company and the funeral, which will be private, will be held from there at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon with the Rev. B. E. Parker of the Christian church officiating. Burial will be made in the Mount Muncie Cemetery. - From The Leavenworth Times, Wednesday Morning, January 17, 1917.
