Greetings Dean, As you mentioned, I found your Alonzo & Rachel in the 1. Lucas Co. IA Cemetery Records, p. 233 Last Chance Cemetery, Union Twp., Lucas Co., IA, Row 29 N-S, #6. They had four children buried next to them: Infant son, Charley A., Rachel M., Cornelia A. Williams. I assume you have those. p,234. also Last Chance Cem: George W. Glenn's wife, Sarah Elinora and their Infant son, are buried next to each other: Row 33, N-S, # 11 [son], wf [12]. Might George be a nephew to Rachel E. Glenn Williams. p. 100: Chariton Cemetery has a family that appears to be headed by a possible brother to Rachel E. Glenn, based on age: Henry S. Glenn, b. 13 Oct 1839, d. 10 Jul 1905 with CVFD and IOOF grave markers. His wf might be Marie Cook Glenn, woman buried next to him. She was b. May 5, 1847, d. March 1, 1915. Women's Relief Corps [grave marker]. Next to Marie are three children labeled "sn or dau. of H.S. & M.L.: Lucius, Friend H., and Emma Glenn. All three died as infant or toddlers from 1875 - 1881. There are no other Glenn surnames in the Cem. book. // Here are a couple of tidbits for your family history in the event you don't have the: 2.
