General Notes: Husband - Joseph W. Glenn


He grew to manhood on the homestead in Manor township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania and was educated in the common schools there. When eighteen years old he began work on his own account, as an employee in the Kittanning Rolling Mills, and he continued in that line until 1884, working at rolling mills in different sections of the country. In 1884 he settled at Wichita, Kansas, where he worked on a ranch for three years and then for four years was engaged in market gardening there. In 1891 he returned to Armstrong County, locating in North Buffalo township, where he began business as a market gardener and florist. He remained there until 1903, when he removed to Kittanning and engaged as a florist and seed dealer at No. 124 Market street. He was a stockholder in the Kittanning Brewing Company and acted as road salesman for that concern beginning in 1906. He was well known in the local fraternal bodies, belonging to the B. P. O. Elks, Fraternal Order of Eagles and I. O. H. His religious connection was with the Episcopal Church, and in politics he associated with the Republican party.
