ELIZABETH (CRUMRINE) GLUNT, widow of Joseph Glunt, deceased, See 17, P. O. Union City, Ind. Her husband, Joseph Glunt, was born June 5, 1822 and departed this life May 1, 1878, after a lingering illness, which he bore with patience and Christian fortitude; he had been a member of the German Baptist Church for seventeen years. They commenced life in a very poor little log hut which now stands in the rear of the pleasant home, and is used as a stable. The gentlemen and ladies of today would hardly desire to make such a beginning, but from such beginnings have grown all the wealth and prosperity of this country. This hut was erected in the wilderness, but is now surrounded by beautiful and productive farms. Mr. Glunt, when married, had only a cow, two horses and a few farming tools, thus showing what untiring industry and indomitable will will accomplish. The farm consists of 427 acres of excellent land. Mr. Glunt married Elizabeth Crumrine, daughter of Moses Crumrine, one of the earliest settlers of this county, June 7, 1849; she was born in Darke Co., Ohio, July 22, 1832; they have had five children, viz.: Catherine M., born March 21, 1850; she married Samuel W. Blocker; Mary E., born Sept. 18, 1852; she married Samuel Mote; Isaac N., born Sept. 18, 1856; Harrison, July 11, 1863, died Aug. 27, 1863, and Harvey M., born Dec. 11, 1864.
