The year 1909 witnessed the arrival of Mr. Glen in Yakima, at which time he purchased land, which he cultivated for a year and then sold. He next returned to railway service in the employ of the Northern Pacific, starting in the position of stenographer with the general agent. His capability and fidelity soon won recognition, resulting in promotion. He became traveling freight agent and in August, 1910, was appointed general agent at Yakima, in which capacity he has since served the corporation, being a most capable official at this point and one who has gained popularity with the public. On the 12th of December, 1905, Mr. Glen was married to Miss Susan Faber, of St. Paul, Minnesota, and they have one child, Margaret, eleven years of age. Mr. Glen belongs to the Knights of Pythias fraternity and also to the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks.
