The Spokesman-Review - Dec 20, 1953
M GLENDINNING TAKEN BY DEATH
Widely-Known Editor Was With S-R for 46 Years
Malcolm Glendinning, 78, retired managing editor of the Spokesman-Review, died yesterday morning at his home, S 518 Madison.
His active service on The Spokesman-Review totaled a little more than 46 years at the time of his retirement in 1950. He had served in every division of the news department. After retirement he devoted part of his time to writing special articles of reminiscences for The Spokesman-Review, covering some of his early-day newspaper experiences.
Mr. and Mrs. Glendinning spent the winters of 1950-1951 and 1951-52 in Phoenix, Arizona.
Mr. Glendinning was born in Salmon, Idaho, and was a member of two noted pioneer families, the Shoups and the Glendinnings.
Nephew of Governor
His father, James Glendinning, a native of Scotland, was in business in Salmon with Col. George Laird Shoup, a brother of Malcomn Glendinning's mother. Colonel Shoup was distinguished as an Indian fighter. He later became the last territorial governor of Idaho and the first state governor. The people of Idaho placed his statue in the hall of fame at Washington, D. C.
Mr. Glendinning moved to Salt Lake City with his family as a small boy. His father, one of the first "Gentle" (non-Mormon) members of Utah's territorial legislature, became an important leader in the state's commerical and civic affairs. He later became mayor of Salt Lake City and held that position when Utah was admitted as a state.
The son attended St. Paul's school in Concord, N. J. Among his classmates were Thomas A. Edison, Jr.; George Day, brother of the author of "Life With Father," and Edward S. Harkness, world-famous philanthropist.
From St. Paul's, Mr. Glendinning entered Yale Univeristy. He was graduated from Yale in 1898. He attended the 50th reunion of the class.
He was a student of Shakespears and had a sound foundation in Latin and Greek.
Was Sports Writer
On his return to Salt Lake City, he began playing football on the city team. It was through this sport that he received his first introduction to the newspaper business. The editor of the old Salt Lake Herald assigned him to writing stories of the games.
Later he served as a forest ranger on the middle fork of the Clearwater river in Idaho. Then followed by a short stay in Alaska where he spent a season in placer mining operations at "Camp 3 above" on Anvil creek, near Nome.
From Alaska, Mr. Glendinning came to Spokane. He applied to the late Conner Malott, then city editor of The Spokesman-Review, for a job.
He was hired. The year was 1902. He covered every beat and assignment on the paper, became assistant city editor. He resigned in 1909 to become publisher of the Wallace Idaho Press. But after slightly more than a year he returned to The Spokesman-Review again as city editor.
Among the reporters he employed who later became famous were Eric A. Johnson, president of the Motion Picture Association of America, and Clarence C. Dill, later a congressman and United States Senator, Charles Hart, who later became minister to Albania and Persia, was one of his assistants on the city desk.
Mr. Glendinning served as city editor from 1910 to 1936, later becoming news editor. He became the executive head of the editorial department in 1942 when the late George W. Dodds was forced to retire as managing editor because of hill health.
As a young reporter, he covered many of the big stores of the day. Probably the most important of these was the great forest fire which swept across western Montana and northern Idaho in 1910.
In addition to his widow, Vedah Morton Glendinning, Mr. Glendinning is survived by two daughters, Mrs. T. J. (Eleanor) Price of Spokane and Mrs. Richard A. Paulson of Seattle; a son, Robert D. Glendinning of Vancouver, WA.; six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; a brother, Arthur L. Glendinning, Seattle; three sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Cummings, of Spokane; Mrs. Lee K. Ward and Miss Margaret Glendinning, both of Washington, PA.

Funeral services will be held at the Smith & Co. chapel at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow. Dean Frderick W. Kates and Canon John P. Moulton of the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist will conduct Episcopal services. Interment will be in Riverside Mausoleum.
Active pallbearers, all from the editorial staff of The Spokesman-Review, will be Joseph Baily Jr., Seabury M. Blair, James L. Bracken, Ashley E. Holden, Edward T. Litchfield and Callison Marks.
