Thank you very much for your efforts:-)

This was taken from the Elk County section of William G. Cutler's History of the State of Kansas, published in 1883.


R. F. GLENN, Register of Deeds of Elk County, was born in Vermillion County Ill., in 18S7. He was raised on a farm and worked at farming and brick making until thirteen years of age, when he started in the world for himself, working summers and attending school winters until seventeen years of age, when he began teaching, teaching until twenty-one years of age, when he came West and located at Cedar Vale, Chautauqua Co., Kan. In 1880, he took a trip to Colorado, but soon after returned to Kansas, locating at Grenola, and was employed as a salesman in the general store of C. D. Murphy. In January, Mr. Murphy sold out to Hewins & Titus, and Mr. Glenn continued with the new firm until January, 1882, when he came to Howard and took his present position having been elected in the fall of 1831. Mr. Glenn is a thoroughly self-made man, and by close attention to business and his known reliability, was placed in the best office in the county before he had been a resident two years. He is a good business man, and has a bright future before him. He is a member of Howard Lodge, No. 134, I. O. O. F.

Thanks for your efforts.

The family of R.F. Glenn is definitely an other Glenn-Clan from Elk County.

My Greatgrandfathers older brother Frederick R Glenn was born 1868 in Iowa and he died in Aug 1948 in Seattle/WA.
My Greatgrandfather and his younger brothers Virgil V and Herbert are regular native Elk County -  Kansans.

They moved with their parents John T Glenn and Minerva Jane (Maidenname White) between 1898 and 1899 at first to Oregon and a couple of years later into the King County area today Seattle.

My Greatgrandgrandmother Mary Jane (Maidenname Travis) Glenn *1822-1899* is buried at the Twin Grove cemetery/Greenwood and her House must be placed at the direct borderline of Greenwood/Elk, because the informations are changing in regulary intervals between the counties.
Mary Janes husband William died 1869 in Jefferson/Iowa and she moved with eleven children to Kansas (what a hard job) .

The most of them settled as adults with own families themeselve in the Elk/Greenwood Area (mostly Paw Paw Township), other members like my grandparents went to the west coast or settled in Oklahoma/ Kingfisher like Alonzo S Glenn.

I´m interested in informations where the houses or farms of the Glenn´s was exactly placed and if there is anything to find like houses, barn, ruins something else .

Excuse me please, but it´s a wonderful thought for me to own some day a lot or a house on the same place like my ancestors.

Waldo --- was the late Albert Glenn from northeast of Severy a relative of the Glenn's that Micheal is referring to?  The widow, Mildred Glenn is still living - she had two children - a son that they raised that was a foster child and a daughter Byra Glenn Juaire, also deceased as a result of a traffic accident.  Byra was married to the late Jerry Juaire - and they had three daughters, still living.  Lauire, Ginny and Amy...all living in Greenwood county, I believe.

Woww Thank you so much!

Marcia might be able to answer that question.

I looked in the Elk County history book and under the Howell family found a reference to a Noland Glen, Noah Glen, and Sharlene Glen. Also found a Bob Glenn under the Grenola section.

The index seems to indicate Glenn and Glen are interchangeable.

Bob Glenn was a school teacher at Grenola in 1881 and 1882. It could be that RF Glenn and Bob Glenn are the same person.

I´m  surprised, you gave me a lot of new informations about some Familiy-members and brand new names and my hope to find still living relatives is reborn.

Thanks a lot

...the South Lawn cemetery is in the western part of Paw Paw- right?

[Wilma]

No, not right.  South Lawn Cemetery is in Greenwood County, about a mile west and a little bit north of Severy.  It is called South Lawn because it is just across the road south from Twin Grove Cemetery.  Twin Grove was the cemetery at Severy until more space was needed and not being able to go north with it, they went across the road south of it and named the new part South Lawn.  My in-laws are buried there.  It is easy to get to even though the highway that divided it has been moved.  The access from both directions is hard top and there are still several businesses east of the cemeteries.
