Claim of widow for service pension dated 22 June 1891 (this is an obvious error and should read 22 June 1901) lists George W. Glenn as 23 years of age on 10 May 1847. States he was born in Washington County, Missouri and resided in Sebastian County Ark. for 2 years after leaving the service. Declaration of Survivor for Pension dated 1 June 1887 states that George W. Glenn is 62 years of age, born 25 Nov 1824 in Washington County, Missouri Honorable Discharge from United States Volunteer Service, dated 14 Oct. 1848, states that George W. Glenn, Private, was born in the State of Tennessee; is 22 years of age; 6 feet 4 inches high; dark complexion, blue eyes, brown hair. (My note: This is the only document that I have found that states he was born in Tennessee; all census records and other official sources put his birth in Washington County, Missouri or just Missouri). Virgil Houghin Cannady wife of John Homer Cannady, who was affectionately known as "Aunt Virge" and who was beloved by allwho knew her, once said that George Glenn's hair was about the same color as Ronald "Ronnie" Glenn (his great grandson. Ronnie's hair is dark red. My grandfather, Isaac Andrew Hembree once told my mother Laurel (his daughter in law) that he had heard his father , Joel T. Hembree, remark that if everyone was as honest as George Glenn that there would be no need for any laws. Written by Max R. Hembree, Springfield, Missouri ************* The picture of George Washington Glenn was contributed by Thurman Glenn. Here is the story of the picture. Max Hembree had this to say about the picture of George Washington Glenn: "This is the only photograph of George Washington Glenn that I know to exist. My mother, Laurel (Glenn) Brown, while on a visit to Dade County, Missouri about 1960, found the picture stored in Uncle John Cannady's barn along with a photograph of Sheridan Glenn, Youngest son of George W. and Mary Lock Glenn. Both pictures were literally encrusted by the nests of "dirt-daubers". Laurel removed the picture of her grandfather from the heavy frame (the glass having evidently been missing for years) and brought it home to California with her. The picture was carefully restored in 1979 and copies made. George had posed with his rifle, but the person restoring the negative could not determi what the object was and made it look like an unstrung bow." Thurman
