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.

Her husband, Reuben Nickerson, was a well-known figure in the community and she was respected as well. Mrs. Nickerson’s family history has roots in the Methodist Church as her grandmother, Mary Millington, was a member of the original Methodist Church in England. In the June 30, 1903 edition of the Athens Banner Herald her connection to the Church is featured by making note of her ownership of a bible that founding member Charles Wesley gave to her grandmother in 1783.

Some I recognized from school and others I had heard of through the local community. I decided to choose someone who was not quite so prominent in the area; I chose Martin Luther Smith. Mr. Smith was born on September 9, 1819. He graduated from West Point, 16th in his class. He married a native Athens, Georgia woman in 1846. At the start of his military career, Mr. Smith served in the Mexican American War as an engineer and eventually rose to the rank of Captain. He also became a major general in the Confederate States Army and although he was born in New York, Mr. Smith was one of only a few soldiers who fought for the Confederacy that was born in the North. He also was one of the men who planned and constructed the defenses of Vicksburg. Toward the end of the Civil War, Mr. Smith returned home to Athens and surrendered in May of 1865. Later, Mr. Smith established a civil engineering company in Savannah, Georgia. At the time of his death in 1866, he was chief engineer of a railroad system. General Smith has a statue at Vicksburg National Military Park. Although he was considered the most accomplished engineer in the Confederate Army and was involved in many significant events during the Civil War, Smith is only remembered by a bust and a uniform housed in a small case in the Museum of the Confederacy. Even today, he remains a mystery with a lost legacy. plot needed SP16 https://digilab.libs.uga.edu/cemetery/files/original/da87562ac3ca2c2ba715caeda33e646c.jpeg e3e1c1f0e6654ba9901fb04deb95f53c https://digilab.libs.uga.edu/cemetery/files/original/4e93bd362a195d988820e017de50cec5.jpeg 3ceb7fede77a6f349c74e4284daf3ceb https://digilab.libs.uga.edu/cemetery/files/original/3c1a717582064829f131056b1ef35be7.jpeg e2b132cc3bf24fba9211923c5f04dfcb Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

On June 17th, 1914 she was awarded with a Master of Arts degree. Lyndon grew up in Athens, Georgia, but would leave in order to receive higher education at Wesleyan College. Lyndon graduated from Wesleyan College in 1896, but stayed an extra year in order to earn a graduate degree in Dramatic Arts. To add to her education, Lyndon also took time to study Dramatic Art and History at Columbia University in New York. Lyndon had previously returned to Athens to earn a 2-year teaching diploma from the State Normal School, which would enable her to teach English at an Athens High School. In 1911, Lyndon was offered a position teaching history at the Lucy Cobb Institute, which permitted her to take summer classes at the University of Georgia, a male only institution. The University had a policy where those who desired to become teachers could earn credit during summer school, a policy that Lyndon took advantage of. In 1919, after there had been a great push for women’s education, Lyndon was offered the position of Associate Professor of Education and Dean of Women at the University of Georgia. Her accomplishments at UGA include starting a woman’s basketball team and establishing the first sorority on campus, Phi Mu. Unfortunately, a fatal case of pneumonia put an end to Lyndon’s career at the early age of 46. Mary Lyndon Hall is named in her honor.
