Voss, burgess of Montrose, died in the City Hospital, Binghamton, N.Y. on Tuesday evening, April 26, 1955, at 6:27, after being a patient in the hospital about a month. Prior to that time he had been in ill health much of the winter. While his death was not unexpected, as his condition had been critical for over a week, the sad news deeply affected his many friends throughout this area and sympathy for the family is extended them in their sorrow. Mr. Voss had been burgess of the town for over thirteen years, having commenced his fourth term on Jan. 1, 1954. Previous to that time he had served as councilman for sixteen years. He has been chairman of the local draft board, No. 158, Pennsylvania Selective Service, for over fifteen years, starting in 1940. He has been a member of the official board of the Montrose Methodist church for forty-five years. He was long vice-president and a director of the First and Farmers National Bank and Trust Co. He has also served in many local organizations and committees during a long period of community service and few men have given more to civic matters than he has. Mr. Voss was a native of Auburn township, Susquehanna county, son of Clark E., and Almeda Lake Voss. He was born on July 18, 1887, being in his sixty-eighth year. He came to Montrose as a young man to clerk in the Farmers National Bank and after working in the bank for several years he secured the agency for the ford car and erected a garage and sales-room, together with machine shop and service station, the building now being occupied the Montrose Publishing Co. He was also representative for the Chevrolet car for some years, retiring from business some years ago. He was one of the early members of the Montrose Rotary Club and continued his membership faithfully until taken ill during the winter. He was also a member of the Masonic Blue Lodge, Chapter and Nazarene Commandery, Montrose, and Irem Temple, Order of the Mystic Shrine, Wilkes-Barre. He was a past master of Warren Lodge.

END From the Montrose Independent, Montrose, Pennsylvania dated May 5, 1955: BEGIN To Look The World in The Face In connection with the death of Glenn L. Voss, who served his community and county in so many ways, both in civic duties and as a progressive businessman, we feel a tribute out of the ordinary is due him. A close friend informed us following his funeral on Friday that his work as chairman of the Susquehanna County Selective Service Board and the work of the local committee has won recognition in the state. He said that when the original committee was named, composed of Mr. Voss, Thomas Murray, of Hop Bottom, and Jerry McCarthy, of Auburn township, these men held their first meeting in Mr. Voss's home. Each man admitted he did not want to serve on this important committee, involving as it might the deaths of many, but they agreed that if the court and county commissioners had chosen them that it was a duty which they should perform to the best of their ability and as conscientiously as humanly possible. At the conclusion of the meeting, Mr. Voss said to his fellow committee members, I want you to shake hands on this: That we so act that we may look anyone in the face and feel that we have done what is right. And they shook hands. Only those who have been connected with the board know how truly how these men sought to do their most difficult duty. In an agricultural county, such as ours deferment from military service so that the young men work on farms was often needful and imperitive. While officials in the state capitol might question reasons for such deferment, the board endeavered to continue in agricultural pursuits those young men who it seemed were really needful for food production. Where there were investigations the local board was upheld and their decisions accepted in almost all instances. As a director and Vice-president of the First and Farmers National Bank and Trust Co., Mr. Voss gave much time willingly at the weekly meetings of the board and his judgment was respected. He was a "foursquare" businessman in all his personal dealings, an active member of the official board of the Methodist Church for fourty-five years and one of its most active supporters and faithful attendants. As burgess and as a councilman for many terms he maintained a vital interest in the town's progress and aided in every possible way. As a member of the Rotary Club he enjoyed association with his fellows and assisted in its many worthy aims to raise "service above self." In the community and in his home there is left a large void which only a man of his character and talents could fill.
