Glenn was primarily raised in McDonough, Georgia and at the age of twenty he began studying University of Georgia, where he was a member of the Phi Kappa Literary Society. Glenn graduated with honors in 1842. In that same year, he married Mildred Lewis Cobb, a member of the prominent Cobb family. Shortly after their marriage, Glenn and his new bride moved to McDonough where Glenn began to practice law. While in McDonough, Mildred gave birth to three of their six children, John in 1844, Sarah in 1846 and Howell in 1849. Glenn represented the county three times as a member of the legislator. Even though he had established a successful law firm, Glenn had higher aspirations—to be a politician, so in 1851 he and his family moved to Atlanta. The move to Atlanta proved fruitful, as Glenn served as Mayor of Atlanta in 1858 and 1859. He was the first Mayor to create regular committees that were in charge of the oversight of the various functions of city government such as the fire department, and the upkeep of streets. At the onset of the Civil War, Glenn served as the commissioner from Georgia to the Missouri Secession Convention. At this convention he read Georgia’s Articles for Secession and worked tirelessly to persuade the members of Missouri’s government to join Georgia and secede from the Union. Although Missouri ultimately did not seceded, Glenn was highly respected for his gallant effort at the convention. Luther J. Glenn also served the Confederacy as a solider in the C Company, part of Cobb’s legion which Thomas Cobb, Mildred’s uncle, lead. According to His obituary, Glenn first served as the commander of the C Company, later becoming the Lt. Colonel. Glenn was injured at the battle of Fredericksburg in December of 1862. He was shot through the left arm, an injury that never fully healed and according to his obituary, caused him discomfort for the rest of his life. Being the Colonel of the C Company, it was his responsibility to surrender the remaining Confederate troops of Atlanta to the 1st Ohio Calvary, which occurred on May 3rd, 1865. Luther J Glenn was a prominent member of the Masonic Society. He eventually served as high priest of the Mt. Zion Royal Arch Masons. According to his obituary, he was one of the most devoted masons to ever be and he served the order in every way he possibly could. In addition to being a member of the Masonic order, Luther Glenn was also a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows or I.O.O.F. I.O.OF is an organization started in the 19th century to help those in need. In 1873, Glenn was elected as an officer of this organization and according to the August 4th, 1891 Athens Weekly Banner “he (Glenn) held the highest rank of odd fellowship in the world”. In 1892, after his passing, the Grand lodge of the I.O.O.F was renamed in his honor.
