I am married to James R. Glass Jr., grandson of Welcome E. Glass, who was a brother of Charles Orlando Glass (married to Ora Martin, Gertrude Ella Minner, and another wife), and brother of Lulu Anna Glass (married to Charles Elison Van Dolah Coleman). I married Jimmy a little over 3 years ago and have been working on his family's history. Would be interested in comparing notes on the Glass family & related lines so that I can fill in some blanks. I am so glad to hear that you had a good relationship with Mr. Coleman - I've heard VERY nice things about him. I'm not so sure you would have liked Orlie Glass quite as much as you did Mr. Coleman. Jim says his grandpa talked about Orlie having a bit of a problem with alcohol and there might have been some marital abuse when Gertrude was with him. There is quite a body of information prepared by some of the Van Dolah and Coleman relatives that I found on the internet a couple of years ago. If you can't find it, let me know and I'll see if I can locate what I printed off and help you with contacting some of that group. Claudia Glass
