GLASGOW – Carl Anthony “Tony” Oliver, 69, passed away Saturday, June 21, 2025, at his residence. A native of Barren County, he was the son of the late Carl Neeley Oliver and Gene Troxall Oliver.

Tony was formerly employed at Glasgow Daily Times, after which he was employed as a truck driver for Houchens Industries, from which he retired.
