      BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES
      "Samuel's son, James E., went to see his father off, and found a small discarded uniform, donned it, and joined his father against the Fenians. Both father and son were awarded the Fenian Raid medal and received land grants in
      Ontario, living side-by-side on the third Concession of Ameliasburgh.

      James E. Glenn also received the Long Service Medal, being the first man in Prince Edward County to be given that honour. He became a Captain in the Militia, in command of the Consecon Company for ten years, resigning in 1899. He then became Captain of the Ameliasburgh Rifle Association. He taught school for twenty-five years in Ameliasburgh, sixteen of them in the Adams school. He was also a councillor in 1881, and later became Deputy Reeve and then Reeve. In 1894 he became Warden, and in 1901, Township Treasurer."
