Cleland, former POW and World War II U.S. Army veteran, 95, Rochester, passed away at 12:06 a.m. Wednesday, June 8, 2016, at Woodlawn Hospital. On Dec. 3, 1920, Glenn was born at home west of Rochester on Indiana 14. He was the treasured son of Herman and Readah Baldwin Cleland. As a teenager, he developed a strong work ethic, working on the Otto McMahan farm from ages 14-22. With great Zebra pride, he graduated from Rochester High School in 1939. Patriotism beckoned, and Glenn answered the call, serving with the U.S. Army during World War II. A member of the 12th Armored Division, he was captured and imprisoned at Herrlisheim, France, on Jan. 18, 1945. In a time span of 109 days, Sgt. Cleland served time in five prison camps - Baden-Baden, Ludwigsburg, Hammelsburg, Nuremburg and Moosburg. A "Hellcat" and sharpshooting heavy machine gunner, he was highly decorated with two coveted Bronze Stars. Glenn and Donna E. Castleman were married Nov. 29, 1947, at the Burton Church, near Rochester. Together they enjoyed more than 55 years of life's adventures. Sadly, she passed away on Sept. 7, 2003. Re-entering the local workforce, Glenn began employment with McMahan-O'Connor Construction Company on Oct. 14, 1947. He was a dedicated dispatcher for more than three decades. On Dec. 20, 1985, he retired following 38 years of service. He was a loyal member of the Burton United Methodist Church, Grace United Methodist Church, the 12th Armored Division Association, and the Disabled Veterans Association and a life member of the American Ex-POWs. He was also a member of the Leroy Shelton American Legion Post No. 36 and Manitou VFW Post No. 1343. In his younger years, Glenn umpired Little League baseball, enjoyed attending his children's athletic activities and school programs and oversaw their 4-H projects. He was an avid bowler, once bowling an amazing 276 as his high score. He also liked to golf. Donna and Glenn enjoyed wintering in Bradenton, Fla., for more than 25 years. They also annually planted a huge truck patch garden and froze and canned the bountiful harvest. He loved collecting antiques, milk bottles, postcards and Fostoria crystal. He visited many antique stores and flea markets in search of special treasures. Left to cherish Glenn's memory are a daughter, Linda Morris and husband Lynn, Goshen; two sons, John Cleland and wife Judy, Indianapolis, and Larry Murfitt and wife Judy, West Point; special friend Elsie Long; seven grandchildren, T.J. Murfitt, Jamie Murfitt Clifton, Krista Morris Lehman, Kurt Morris, Christopher Cleland, Brice Cleland, and Cecilia Cleland; and eight great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents and wife. A celebration of the life of Glenn E. Cleland will be at 10 a.m. on Monday, June 13, 2016, at the Good Family Funeral Home, 1200 W. 18th St., Rochester, with Pastor Kerry O'Brien officiating.
