I am looking for information on Amos Sparks Glenn b 1843 in Shelby Co, Indiana. Moved to Iowa in 1853 and served in the 34th Iowa Infantry Co G. He enlisted 11 Aug 1862. I believe in Lucas Co. He was discharged 15 Aug 1865 in Houston, Texas. I believe his father, John Glenn lived in Lucas or Clarke Co. I would appreciate any information. Alonzo Williams and others in the Glenn line are buried in the Last Chance Cemetery. Dean Glenn dglenn@hal-pc.org

Does anyone on the Lucas Listers know about the McClelland family ?? Please review info about John Quincy Werts and marriage to Melvina Daivs of Russell, then Mary C. McClelland. All three are buried at Russell, IA. Thanks, Mary Beth in Wisconsin Hi Bill & kstephens [please forward]: Would love to correspond with Kathy. Went to her site but didn't find an email address, so please forward this information. We have the named spelled McClelland, but have seen variations on that spelling. I appreciate your taking a look at this family. I know so very little about Mary McC. I have a few photos of her over the years. She was born iNov. 17, 1857 at Edinburg, Harrisburg Co., VA [could be PA?] She died Jan 20, 1936. at the Moose Ear Ranch [I assume], near Canton, Barron Co., Wisconsin and is buried in Russell Cemetery, Russell, Lucas Co., Iowa, Section 3, Row 1 #17,18, next to John Quincy Werts as "Mary McC" [no other dates or info on gravestone]. On the other side was Mary Melvina Davis Werts @ #19. Melvina, b. 1855, and JQ were m. April 2, 1879*. Melvina died April 8, 1906 at ag 50y 4m 23d. They had three children: Pearl Edith, 1882' Orval Glenn, 1885; and Stella, 1889. JQ remarried on July 24, 1907 at Edenburg, Erie County, PA. [*Bio states April 2, 1878 but Lucas Co,, but Marriages book, p. 31 shows 1879.] Ancestry.com source of 1920 Federal census info: Mary [McClelland] Werts is listed in the 1920 Census as being 61 years of age. Her father is said to be from Pennsylvania where Mary was born and her mother was from Ohio. mbj note to self: 6/29/2002 This is an outline of what I have for McClelland's: . Descendants of Joseph McClelland, Sr. 23 Joseph McClelland, Sr. .... +Mary ____ .. 24 _____ McClelland ........ +S. W. Laughlin ...... 25 Mary? Laughlin .. 24 Joseph McClelland, Jr. .. 24 Mary C. McClelland 1857 - 1936 ........ +John Quincy Werts 1855 - 1953 What cinched the spelling for me was that I inherited two old books each with an inscription inside: 1. 1836 book: [Love the title!] "The Lady of the Manor; being a Series of Conversations on the Subject of Confirmation. Intended for the Use of the Middle and Higher Ranks of Young Females", Vol I. The inside "Mrs. Mary A. McClelland Prsented to her by Mrs. Mary Hine [The H in Hine is fancy, could be another letter.] 2. undated book, c.1900: " Twenty Years After" by Alexander Dumas. The inscription in the novel reads: M. C. McClelland June 6, 1900 Based on the bio below, dates & inscriptions in the two books, I concluded that Mrs. Mary A. is Mother to Mary C. McClelland. The biography about John Quincy Werts [below] shows a different spelling for Mary C. McClelland ... as Mary McCleland, daughter of Joseph and Mary McCleland. See History of Barron Co., WI bio below, as sent to me by Vic Gulickson of Barron Co., WI. I have a couple of images of the home described in the bio: Subject:Biographies: John Quincy Werts, Orval Glen Werts Sr. Date:10:48:12 03.06.2004 From:Victor Gulickson <vic@indy.net> To:Mary Beth Jensen <gmjensen@bayland.net> Best Regards, Vic Gulickson Biography: --Transcribed from: History of Barron Co., Wisconsin, H. C. Cooper, Jr., & Co., 1922, pg. 812. John Quincy Werts, joint-owner with his son of the well-known Moose Ear Ranch of 800 acres in Sumner Township, was born in Ohio June 2, 1855, oldest of the ten children of J. J. and Esther (Wymer) Werts, natives of Ohio, and pioneers of Iowa. The subject of this sketch was brought to Iowa by his parents in 1864 and was reared in Lucas County, attending the public schools and learning farming from his father. He also took courses at Parsons' College, Fairfield, Iowa. With this preparation he taught school for a while. Then for many a long year he was a leading farmer in Benton Township, Lucas County, farming large tracts of land and specializing in raising beef and dairy cattle. He was a man of influence and weight, and served in numerous offices in town and school district. After winning a good measure of success in Iowa, he determined to try his fortunes in a newer country. He had heard much of Barron County, and accordingly fixed upon this region as a suitable location for his future activities. He came here in 1913 and purchased a tract of 800 acres in sections 23 and 24. This is now one of the best farms in this county. The modern home is equipped with comforts and conveniences, including an electric light plant. In addition to the principal residence, there are also two other dwelling houses on the place. There are also numerous barns and outbuildings, almost a village in themselves. The equipment in the way of machinery, implements and tools is unusual, and includes facilities for cutting and finishing lumber, grinding feed, repairing and sharpening, and general carpenter work. About 500 acres are cleared and under cultivation, and the remaining three hundred acres are timber, stump, brush and pasture land. Here the general farming, dairying and stock raising are conducted on an extensive scale. Mr. Werts is at the head of all the vast activities which the operation of this farm entail. With all his busy life, however, he has found the time to take the same interest in Barron County affairs that he took in the affairs of his community in Iowa. Since coming here he has served as a member of the town board, and has been a member of various delegations and committees. He favors actively every move which means progress for the county and township, and is always willing to give of his influence and personal aid to every cause which he believes to be for the betterment of the community. He is an excellent type of the modern extensive farmer, thoroughly versed in agriculture and all phases of its development, a good judge of marketing conditions, a keen business man, and possessed of a faculty of securing the best of results from the men whom he employs. Mr. Werts was married April 2, 1878, in Lucas County, Iowa, to Melvina Davis, who was born in that county Nov. 15, 1855, the daughter of John and Sarah Davis, who were respectively natives of North Carolina and Indiana. This union was blessed with three children, Orval G., Stella and Pearley. Orval G. is now his father's partner. Stella is the wife of Dr. Frank Cowgill, of Nevada, Iowa. Pearley, who married Grover Farber, died in 1915. Mrs. Melvina Werts died in Lucas County, Iowa, April 8, 1906, at the age of fifty years. On July 24, 1907, Mr. Werts was married at Edinburg, Penn., to Mary McCleland, who was born in Edinburg, Va., on Nov. 15, 1857, the daughter of Joseph and Mary McCleland, of Mt. Jackson, Penn." // [John Davis' Sarah in the bio is his second wife named Sarah, to wit: Sarah Threlkeld, b. 1822 who along with other siblings on both sides migrated to Lucas Co., IA in the mid 1800's.] Based upon query: On 06.08.2005 at 09:41:29, <bell.rose@juno.com> wrote:> > Hi Mary Beth, > ...> Question. Do you know who the parents are for Mary C. McLeland, 2nd wife of John Quincy Werts? I'm trying to help run down info on her. I've located a lady that is deep into McLeland searching, but she has McLeland spelled McLelland.

A Narrative History of The People of Iowa with SPECIAL TREATMENT OF THEIR CHIEF ENTERPRISES IN EDUCATION, RELIGION, VALOR, INDUSTRY, BUSINESS, ETC. by EDGAR RUBEY HARLAN, LL. B., A. M. Curator of the Historical, Memorial and Art Department of Iowa Volume IV THE AMERICAN HISTORICAL SOCIETY, Inc. Chicago and New York 1931 CHARITON PUBLIC LIBRARY. Probably no other institution is a better index of the cultural standards and activities of a community than its public library. In this respect Chariton is justly proud of the building and the service represented in its free public library. A group of public spirited citizens made a determined campaign and organized a library in 1900. For three years the collection of books was housed in a downtown building. Help was obtained from the Carnegie Library Fund to the extent of $12,000, and with this, supplemented by the provision for grounds and the maintenance by local taxation, a splendid new library building was completed. The library has been in a very proper sense the civic center of Chariton. In its club rooms public meetings are held several times a week, being used by the Woman's Club and other organizations of a civic nature. The library itself comprises about 15,000 volumes, including 2,500 well selected reference books. The best gauge of a library's usefulness is its circulation, and the Chariton Public Library has an annual circulation of 41,000. Besides the books the library takes in about fifty periodicals. The librarian since 1920 has been Mrs. Ida R. Leonard, a woman devoted to her work, cultured and highly educated. The library takes special pride in the work of its children's department. CHARITON PUBLIC SCHOOLS. The school system of Chariton represents an institution in the aggregate of which the community is justly proud, and provides educational opportunities for about 1,500 students. Of these approximately 500 are in the high school department, and about a hundred are graduated annually, ready to go on to college or take up practical careers. The high school building was erected in 1922, at a cost of about $250,000. The high school is fully accredited, being a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools. The Chariton school system employs fifty-six teachers. Since 1927 a two year junior college has been in operation, and it is also fully accredited by the state's higher institutions of learning. http://www.iagenweb.org/history/index.htm posted at this site with Debbie's permission

The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, July 22, 1909 The Leader confesses that it is a prevaricator and that the truth on this occasion was not in it. On last Thursday it stated that Chariton was a dry town and that there was perhaps not a drop of anything in the city stronger than cistern water filtered through charcoal. Hardly had the last paper fallen from the press until Constable JAMES WYLAND and CLINT MILLTHORPE raided the DAUGHERTY Drug Store, on the west side and discovered an oasis. They captured and took into custody three barrels of malted liquid food, hop tonic or something of the kind, branded 5 per cent "oh, be joyful," a quarter of a barrel of beer "off ice," three gallons of alcohol, some whisky some in and some out of flasks, and a gallon or more of raspberry syrup, the thoughts of which almost makes a temperance apostle's mouth water at the thoughts of how good raspberries and cream are with the seeds crushed out. The evil spirits and the good spirits and the doubtful spirits, which is the hop tonic, were taken to a place of safety and will ferment until the 30th inst. when DR. DAUGHERTY will appear before the proper tribunal and show, if he can, by what right he communed with these liquid gods and whether or not he juggled with them or enchanted "innocent purchasers." ------------------------------------------------------------------ Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert August 3, 2005 iggy29@rnetinc.net 'A Closed Mouth Gathers No Foot'.
