Was in Business in Clarksville Many Years and Was Well Known Here.
Mr. Jas. L Glenn received a telegram this morning stating that his brother, Richard P. Glenn, had died at his home in Mammoth Springs, Ark., from the effects of a sunstroke sustained yesterday.
Richard P. Glenn was well known to the older citizens of Clarksville and his sudden death will cause universal regret. He was reared in Todd county, Kentucky, and came to the city before the war, going into the grocery business at the stand now occupied by Capt. Crusman, at the corner of Franklin and First streets. the firm name was Glenn & Carr, and they did business here up to, and during the war. the firm sold out here about the close of the war and Mr. Glenn went to Atlanta, where he remained for several years. He finally removed to Memphis and later to Arkansas, where he purchased a fine plantation. He recently rented out his farm and removed to Mammoth Springs, where he was enjoying the results of a successful business career when the summons came. He was about 67 years of age and leaves a wife and several children. He was a fine businessman and a christian gentleman.
The remains will be shipped here for interment, probably reaching here sometime to-morrow.
