Mr. GLENN was born at Hillsboro, N.C., in 1800. He has been a merchant for sixty-four years, forty-three of which was in Cincinnati, in the establishment which now bears the firm name of Wm. GLENN & Sons. He was once president of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, after helping it out of a grave financial difficulty, and has been identified at some time with nearly every railroad entering the city, either as an early stock holder or a member of the Board of Directors. He was one of the founders of the Chamber of Commerce, and at the time of his death an honorary member of it, the oldest member of it, and had held a membership in it longer than any man now living. He was the largest stockholder in the Cincinnati Gazette at the time of the consolidation with the Commercial, and at his death was one of the largest stockholders in the Commercial-Gazette. He leaves a very large estate. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ OH-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news! TM http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com
