  HENRY F. GLENN. The Jackson & Woodin Manufacturing Company of Berwick is one of
  the largest and best known concerns of its kind in this country and much credit
  for its success is due its present manager, the subject of this biography. He is
  a son of Robert and Sarah (Thomas) Glenn, and was born in Philadelphia.
  
    Robert Glenn, father of our subject, died in 1854, and Henry F. is the only
  surviving member of the family. He was reared and educated in the public schools
  of Philadelphia. Being of a mechanical turn of mind he took a course of study in
  mechanical engineering, but later gave up the study and became a clerk in a
  drygoods store, at which calling he continued until 1870. He then removed to
  Berwick and entered the employ of Jackson & Woodin as clerk. Two years later the
  firm was merged into The Jackson & Woodin Manufacturing Company, and our subject
  was promoted to the position of secretary, the duties of which he performed in a
  manner as to gain the approval of his employers. He was soon after rewarded for
  his faithfulness and the interest he took in the welfare of the company by being
  made manager. He was also general manager of the Berwick Rolling Mills until it
  was consolidated with The Jackson & Woodin Company, and served as its treasurer
  for one year. He possesses not only the respect of the men under his
  supervision, but is held in. high esteem by all with whom he is acquainted, both
  in business and private life. He is also deeply interested in the growth and
  development of Berwick and actively supports all enterprises which will in any
  way be of benefit to the town. He uses his influence to elevate the standard of
  education and has served on the board of education for six years. He is also one
  of the directors of the Nescopeck Bridge Company. Mr. Glenn was united in
  marriage to Mary B. Young, a daughter of Rev. Jared Young, and their happy union
  has been blessed by the birth of six children: Jesse, a mechanical engineer and
  a graduate of Cornell University; Elizabeth, who is in attendance at a college
  for young ladies at Baltimore, Md.; Edwin, a student of Cornell University;
  Annie, who is attending school at home; Robert, also a student at Berwick; and
  Mary, who died in infancy. In religious views the family adheres to the faith of
  the Methodist Episcopal Church.
