Will Whitley was a small man, about five foot and a half, but he was a large man in character-temper and radical religious attitudes that bordered on the extreme. He bought the Ed Lewis place above Glenn and moved there in 1906. Here he farmed and raised his family. He died here and is buried within sight of his home, the Glenn Cemetery, behind the Glenn Baptist Church.
