George Washington Glenn

THE STORY BEHIND THE PICTURE
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 Country,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- daubars". 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 determine what the object was and made it look like an unstrung bow.
