Our citizens have been called upon to part with another of their number– one who, by his genial and pleasant ways in social intercourse, and by honesty and integrity in business, had endeared himself to all who became intimately acquainted with him, and won the respect and confidence of the whole community. George W. Glazier, after a prolonged illness of several weeks, died at half-past five o’clock, Monday morning last, July 21, from the effects of congestive fever. The deceased was born on the 10th of April, 1828, in Berne township, Athens county, Ohio. The family afterward removed to Ames township, in the same county, where they lived for many years. His two brothers, William and Absalom, both younger than George, and his father, have preceded him to the grave. His mother, now nearly seventy years old and residing in this city, is alone left of the whole family, having buried her three boys and husband. On the 7th day of December 1855, Mr. Glazier arrived with his family and took up his residence in Savannah, engaging in the mercantile business in partnership with Mr. Eli Alderman. His mother followed him some time afterward. In June, 1871, the firm of Alderman & Glazier was dissolved, and Mr. Glazier began business alone in the store which he occupied at the time of his death.

People are astonished and frequently started at the wonderful progress that science is making from day to day. A hundred years ago, the great statesman, Carnot, upon examining a certain invention, said to the inventor, “Bring to me that man who dares to do what God Almighty cannot- tie a knot in a stretched string.”

The most difficult and most scientific surgical operation every attempted in Andrew County was successfully performed Wednesday by Dr. David Bryant of our city and assisted by Drs. W. H. Bryant, Bennett, Burtch and Parks.

About thirty years ago at the Battle of Lone Jack, Wesley Gibson, who lives about six miles southwest of Bolckow, was shot in the head, the bullet going thru the skull and finding lodgement. The aperture made by the bullet healed in the course of time, and Mr. Gibson, while suffering considerably at frequent intervals, had been able to follow the pursuit of farming with success. About two months ago, however, he had a stroke of paralysis and since that time has had several convulsions. The physicians in attendance concluded that his serious condition arose from the pressure of that bullet upon the brain, and that the only hope of prolonging his life beyond a few hours, or days at most, was to repine or cut into the skull and extract the bullet. Dr. D. B. Bryant was selected to perform this most difficult and dangerous operation, which he accomplished in a manner that demonstrates the fact he is possessed of superior skill in his profession.

He cut out of the skull a circular section about one half inch in diameter and found the bullet, which had been very much flattened, encrusted or enclosed in a sack which had grown around it. Mr. Gibson’s condition is very serious but his chance of life is much improved by the removal of the bullet and hopes are entertained for his recovery.

Too much credit cannot be given to Dr. Dave Bryant for his surgical skill and being the youngest physician in the county for years, we predict for him a brilliant future.
