General Notes:
"William Glenn was born in 1822 in Mohican township. His father was one of the pioneers of Ashland county having emigrated from Harford county, Maryland, in 1818. His home was a log cabin and was surrounded on all sides by the forest. Here the subject of this sketch was born. He remained on the farm until after he was thirty years of age, and many an old oak fell beneath the heavy blows of his ax. The forest gradually gave way and in its place waving fields of grain were to be seen.
"September 23, 1852, Mr. Glenn married Miss Caroline Ewing, a daughter of William Ewing, of Vermillion township, another of Ashland county's pioneers, having came here from Pennsylvania in 1813. Mr. Glenn with his wife moved to Green township, on a farm owned by his father. There they remained four years when he purchased a farm in Milton township and moved there. Two years later he sold his farm and returned to his mother's farm in Mohican township. The next year he bought a farm in Mohican township and lived on it five years at the end of which time he sold and moved to a farm owned by his father-in-law in Montgomery township. At the end of another year bought a farm in Mohican township which he made his home for years."
In their old years Mr. and Mrs. Glenn moved to Ashland where they remained nine years when they moved to Jeromeville and made their home with their son Lewis, proprietor of the Jeromeville hotel. Mrs. Glenn died fifteen months ago.
