E. Glenn Werner came from Oklahoma to Barber County in the spring of
     1920 at the age of six years with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. C.W. Werner,
     and two sisters, Claudine (Mrs. Lonnie Skaggs) and LaVon (Mrs. George
     Stone), to a farm one mile south and two miles east of Sharon, Kansas.
     Another brother, Dale, was born in 1923.
       Glenn attended grade school at the Enon rural school one-half mile
     east of their home and graduated from Sharon High School in Sharon, 
     Kansas.
       In 1935 Glenn married a neighbor girl, the former Maurine Newsom,
     daughter of Arthur and Ethel Newsom. Maurine has one brother, Randal,
     and one sister, Theda (Mrs. Raymond Watkins). Glenn and Maurine had three
     children. One daughter, Harlean (Mrs. Gilbert Shockey, Wichita, Kansas)
     and two sons. One son, Gale E. was a victim of the 1952 polio epidemic
     and passed away that year. The other son, Larry W., is a Sargeant with
     the Kansas Highway Patrol and is stationed in Chanute, Kansas.
       Glenn was a farmer and stockman, having dairy cattle and later changed
     to beef cattle. He also worked at the carpenter trade. In 1966 he gave
     up his farming interests and was employed in the lumber and hardware
     business until he was forced to early retirement because of his physical
     health. Glenn served many years as a member of the Board of Education for
     the Sharon school.
       Maurine devoted three years as study hall teacher at Sharon High School
     before her marriage; and when  their youngest child was in school, she
     returned to the Sharon Public School as school secretary for another twenty-
     two years, making a total of twenty-five years. Because of ill health she 
     was forced to early retirment and passed away in 1978. Maurine was a devoted
     homemaker and mother.
       Glenn and Maurine were very active in the First Baptist Church at Sharon,
     of which Glenn is an ordained deacon, and where interested and active in
     community affairs. Their home, for forty years, was one mile southeast of
     Sharon on the old Warren place. After the death of Maurine, Glenn moved
     into the town of Sharon.
