WILLIAM THOMAS GLENN
Source: Waveland Independent, March 3, 1933
William T. Glenn, one of our oldest residents, died at his home No. of town just after noon on Monday. Although past his 90th year, Mr. Glenn was very active until a few months ago he injured himself while assisting in some work on his farm, causing an embolism which produced gangrene in one of his limbs. He was the son of Thomas & Martha (Hanna) Glenn, and was born on the farm where he died Jan 1, 1843. Life in this section was then in the pioneer stage and Mr. Glenn could tell many interesting events that happened in boyhood. He cast his first vote for Lincoln and was always a staunch Republican and took an active interest in public affairs. On Oct 14, 1885 he married Miss Hattie Edge who survives him with two daughters: Mrs. Ellsworth C. Murphy of Chicago and Mrs. Charles Hillabold of Stafford, KS and one granddaughter, Harriet Hillabold. Funeral services at the Freedom Baptist church of which he was a member, on Wednesday afternoon were conducted by Rev HH Elmore. Burial was in the cemetery adjacent. He was a member of the Waveland Masonic Lodge. - kbz
