Glenn Sternberger

  
       Glenn's grandfather, Philip Sternberger, Sr., came to America in 1884
     from Crippen, Germany. His wife Louise followed him the following year,
     bringing with her five small children; the second one was Glann's father,
     Henry Sternberger. They lived in Barber County a short time, then in 1893
     homesteaded across the state line. They were now a family of ten children.
       Henry married Edith Glenn Campbell, July 28, 1909, and they started their
     home a short distance from the homestead. There were six children in their
     family: Naurine, Glenn, Hazel, Marguerite, Wayne and Neva.
       Glenn married his high school sweetheart, Berneice Johnson, October 15,
     1934, at the Hardtner Methodist Church. We lived at the family home and
     worked for his father. In 1936 we moved to our own home. We were blessed
     with two children.
       Our oldest daughter, Glenna Ann, was born July 31, 1938. She is married
     to Charles Dunn and they have three children: Shelia Rae, Michel Glenn and
     Laura Lee. They live at Skiatook, Oklahoma. Glenna is a housewife and mother
     and raises Arabian horses.
       Our second child, Larry Dean Sternberger, born November 19, 1940, lives
     in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and teaches advanced math at the Tulsa Junior College.
     The past year he finished his law degree at Tulsa University.
       Our family have all been members of the Methodist Church at Hardtner and
     all graduated from the Hardtner High School.
       Glenn's mother died in 1947 and his father in 1952.
       We bought the Homer Robert's Ranch in Barber County in September 1965
     and have made our home there since. Glenn retired from farming this year
     (1979). We plan to live here as long as our health permits.
