EDWARD T.B. GLENN

Sunday, November 4, 1906 Raleigh, North Carolina,
November 3 - Governor GLENN arrived home Saturday,
November 3, 1906 from Macon, Georgia.  He left the
bedside of his brother there Friday afternoon, November
2, 1906.  The physicians advised him that though there
was no hope of recovery, his brother was not in immediate
danger.  As it was on the eve of election and some
trouble might occur here, the governor was asked to
return to North Carolina.  Within an hour after his
return here, a telegram announced his brother's death.
He was 46 years old and born in Rockingham County, this
state, married Miss MARY PEMBERTON of Fayetteville and
moved to Macon, where he was connected with the Central
of Georgia Railway.  His death is the fourth in the
governor's family during his term, including his brother,
who was his private secretary; the wife of EDWARD GLENN,
a brother of Governor GLENN's wife, who died in the far
west and whom she had not seen for 30 years, and now
EDWARD GLENN, the youngest and the last! of the
governor's brothers.

The above newspaper article concerns the death of my
widowed great-grandfather, E.T.B. GLENN, in Macon, GA, at
the relatively young age of 46. Following his death, his
four children (Mary Pemberton G., E.T.B. G. Jr., Anna
Dodge G., and Jeannette G.) went to live with their only
living Glenn relative--Robert Brodnax GLENN, the governor
of NC. 

My grandmother, Mary Pemberton GLENN, later married
(about 1910) Dr. Benjamin Joseph WILLINGHAM, who--I
understand from family tradition--was born in Bibb
County, GA, and was the son of the Rev. Robert Josiah
WILLINGHAM and Sarah Corneille BACON. Any Bibb County or
Georgia-specific information you can add to this would be
greatly appreciated:
