Saturday, January 6, 1951 Frank Glaze Frank GLAZE, 66, retired electrical worker, was asphyxiated late Friday afternoon at his four-room cottage at the edge of Talma, despite efforts of Rochester Fire Chirf Bud JOHNSON who crawled through three smoke-filled rooms to drag him out of the burning building. Damage to the one-story structure, on the banks of the Tippecanoe river, was estimated at only $100, however. Johnson, who said he went to the scene under the impression that the Rochester fire department truck was enroute to Talma, found Glaze face down on the floor a few feet from a chair where he had apparently been sitting. He said he heard the aged man moaning shortly after he arrived, but was unable to get into the building for several minutes because of smoke. When he did, Glaze was unconscious or dead. Local officials said the Rochester fire truck was first called, but that a second telephone conversation cancelled it almost immediately. The Mentone department was then called. Johnson said a hole, about four feet square, was burned in the floor where the chair had been and that remnants of the chair were found in the basement. The blaze may have started from live cigar or cigaret ashes. He said he believed Glaze had felt the flames and had started to get up from the chair when he collapsed. A neighbor’s fear that another man, later identified as Bill JULOW, might have been in the cottage sent Johnson back into the smoke-filled building without results. Julow, a Rochester Metal Products employee, reportedly had been helping to take care of Glaze intermittently, but was at work when the fire occurred. Sheriff Laurence NORRIS and Deputy DeVerl HOLLOWAY were also at the scene. Glaze, who was born in Fulton county June 17, 1884, was the son of Jesse and Laura GLAZE. He left this community in later years and returned here from Kokomo four years ago. His wife, the former Clara CLARK, preceded him in death last Christmas Day. A member of the Moose and Eagles lodges and the electrical union at Kokomo, he is survived by one brother, Sam GLAZE, of South Bend. The body was taken to the Foster Funeral Home, Rochester, where services will be held at 1 p.m. Monday. Short rites will be held at 3 p.m. at the Crown Point Chapel, Kokomo, and burial will be in the cemetery there. Lt. William Wagoner Relatives here received word Friday that Lt. William WAGONER, 28, air force pilot shot down in Korea, Nov. 28, was killed in action. He was first reported missing. A South Bend resident, his widow is the former Jean RINKER, an ex-Rochester resident. Other relatives include Mr. and Mrs. Fred DAY, Leiters Ford. A native of Ohio, he entered service in 1944 and was attached to the 8th Air Force. Mrs. J. A. Meranda Funeral services will be held at 2:30 p.m. Sunday in the Fenn Mortuary, Kokomo, for Mrs. J. A.
