General Notes: Husband - Dr. John Bowman Glenn


He spent his early life upon the homestead at Mill Creek, Venango County, Pennsylvania. He received his primary education in the local schools, later attending the academy at Utica, and in his early manhood taught school in Canal Township, Utica and North Sandy Creek Township. On June 1, 1861, he enlisted in Company C, 10th Pennsylvania Reserves, and served three years in the Civil war, receiving his discharge June 2, 1864. He took part in all the engagements of his company during that period. After his military experience he returned to Venango County and resumed teaching, but had continued it only one term in public school when he began the study of medicine with Drs. Johnston and Cochran, of Cochranton, Crawford County. He completed the regular course at Jefferson Medical College in 1872, and at the time of his graduation became a life member of the Alumni. Meantime he had acquired considerable practical experience in the profession, having begun practice at Polk, Venango County, in 1867. In the fall of 1867, he located at Freedom, in Rockland Township, Venango County, where he carried on the general practice of medicine until his removal to Franklin in November, 1887. There he remained engaged, and even when more than eighty years of age retained his zest for all the interests of life, attending to his daily duties with little abatement of energy and enthusiasm. He kept pace with the advancements in the practice and theory of medicine, and supported the various activities of the profession whose object tended toward the diffusion of knowledge and general enlightenment, especially in matters of hygiene. He became a member of the Venango County Medical Society in 1867, at its second meeting, served as president of the body, and was always one of its valued members. He became a member of the Pension Examining Board during the administration of President Chester A. Arthur, in 1881. For ten years he was physician at the County Home, and for several years was the physician to the jail. [CAB, 494]
