name: "Glenmore" as seen in 1900 and 1910 census

name: "Glen" as seen in the census once he became an adult

Judy Stewart tells me to differentiate between him and his father, Glen was simply referred to as "E.G."


as to death date:

the obit index shows his obit as published

South Bend Tribune 10/24/1974 , p. 45

South Bend Tribune 10/25/1974 , p. 35

and the SSDI shows his death as being July 1973

and Judy Stewart has his death as Oct 30, 1973 --Msscarlet1957 20:17, 1 September 2008 (EDT) (this is incorrect/Judy Stewart/8 sept 2008. GLenmore definately died in 1974 NOT 1973 as per Jeanette Wells Stahl.
