Married Mary McKethen in 1842. JAMES G. GLENN (Farmer, Post-office, Lentner). Mr. Glenn, an old citizen of Shelby county and one of its pioneer settlers, is a native of Kentucky, born in Mason county on the 9th day of October, 1810. He was the seventh in a family of 10 children of Robert and Ruth Glenn, his father originally of Virginia, but his mother born in New Jersey. They were married in Kentucky and lived there until their deaths. James G. was reared to the occupation of a farmer and in 1833 was married to Miss Angeline Prather, a daughter of Thomas Prather, of the same family from which Griff Prather, of St. Louis came. The same year of his marriage Mr. Glenn struck out for the West to seek his fortune in the wilds of Missouri, and settled in Shelby county on what is known to this day as the " Old Camp Ground." In 1837 he sold his place there and moved a mile and a half east, where he resided for seven years. While at the latter place his wife died in 1841, and the following year he was married to Miss Mary, a daughter of Robert and Sarah McKathen, formerly of Tennessee. During the year of the high water in 1844, Mr. Glenn went to Marion county, but afterwards returned and improved a farm on North river. In 1857 he sold that place and settled on his present farm, near Beacon's Chapel, where he has since resided. This was previously known as the Duncan farm, and contains 180 acres. Mr. Glenn is engaged in raising stock and farming in a general way. Daring the war he served a year in the militia, and is now a member of the G. A. R. History of Monroe and Shelby Counties, Missouri; St. Louis: National Historical Company, 1884, Page 987 SHELBINA, MISSOURI. Shelbina, Mo, June 14.—James G. Glenn, living west of town, died last Sunday at the age of 83 years. He came to Missouri in 1833 from Kentucky. Mr. Glenn sold the first farm that was ever sold in Shelby county at $20 an acre. The Quincy Daily Journal, Thursday, June 15, 1893; Page: 6 LOCAL. —We understand the will of James G. Glenn, who recently died near Lentner, does not give satisfaction to his relatives all of whom are cut out of any part of the estate. He left property to the value of 7 or 8 thousand dollars, all of which he gave to Robert C. Prather and wife who had kept house for him and waited on his for eight years prior to his death. This disposition of the property does not suit Mr. Glenn's relatives.
