General Notes: Husband - Abraham Rockey Glenn


He engaged in the foundry business in Red Bank township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, in 1865, and in 1867 removed to Smicksburg, Indiana County, and was engaged for some time as one of the partners of the Smicksburg foundry. After 1872 he was building and repairing threshing machines, furniture, &c.

A detailed account of his Civil War service appeared in a local newspaper:
"Abraham R. Glenn enlisted Aug. 29, 1861, in Company B, 78th Regiment Pennsylvania Infantry, which joined Negley's Brigade, and was ordered to Kentucky in October. Was seized with an attack of bronchitis while accompanying his regiment on its march from Mumfordsville, Ky., to Nashville, Tenn., and left Feb. 22d, 1862, with others at Bowling Green, Kentucky, where a hospital was improvised for their accommodation; was detailed as nurse on the 6th of April, in which capacity he served, being subsequently transferred to Nashville, Tenn., until September, when at his own request he was returned to his regiment. Feb. 2d, 1863, he was detailed from his regiment and served successively on the escorts of Generals Negley, Grant and Palmer; was discharged by reason of expiration of service, October 12th, 1864, at Kittanning, Pa. During his enlistment he served in the following engagements: Stone River, Hoover's Gap, Elk River, Bailey's Cross Roads, Chickamauga, Tunnel Hill, Buzzards Roost, Resaca, Kingston, New Hope Church, Big Shanty, Kenesaw Mountain and Chattahoochee."
