A.H. Closson Dies
Lunch Wagon Maker Realized Fortune in Business.
Albert H. Closson, 77, died at his home, 16 1/2 Second St, last night at
10:20. Mr. Closson has been in ill health for several months. He is
survived by a brother, Fred Closson of Saratoga; a granddaughter, Mrs. Den
Hoag, Buffalo, and a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Max Bahm, Welland, Ont. His wife
died several months ago. [[ does anyone have these three relatives on their
lists? I have to assume that the daughter in law is Ostrum's, but this
grandchild. I though none of Albert's kids had kids of their own.]]
Mr. and Mrs. Closson were married December 25, 1872 in Saratoga Springs
and resided in Fort Miller. They came to Glens Falls thirty-three years ago
from Bennington, VT.
Mr. Closson opened a lunch wagon in Glens Falls and conducted it for six
years. He then started manufacturing lunch wagons of a special type and of
his own design and invention. This business was a success and his lunch
wagons were in great demand. He realized a small fortune from the business.
About twelve years ago[[ make it 14 ]], Mr. Closson formed a stock
company known as the Closson Lunch Wagon company, which was located in
Westfield, and in which the Welch Grape Juice company was interested.
Mr. Closson retired from business a few years ago and he and Mrs. Closson
traveled for many years. [[ whoa, he worked until he was like 73 at least!
]]
They crossed the continent six times and spent several winters in Florida
and summers at Scroon Lake.
Mr. and Mrs. Closson had four children but they have all died.
Mr. and Mrs. Closson were members of the Fort Edward Center, South Glens
Falls and the Glens Falls Friends church. Mr. Closson was an elder in the
local church and a member of the prohibition state committee.
