Glenn is son of William Franklin Mowry and Jennie E. Simms. The following unconnected Mowry information was shared via Internet, 11/97:
The only documentation I have is "family" information I am now in the process of trying to confirm. According to a "Mowry Family Tree" Edgar Mowry is the son of Jeremiah Mowry and Louvina Doubt. The "Mowry Family Tree" has Edgar's wife as Clara Mumis, perhaps misread or misremembered. The children are listed as Gilda, Clifford, and Stanley. The earliest Mowry ancestor I know is Henry Mowry d. 1852 in Wayne County, Ohio m. Charlotte Jyers b. 1787, in or near Baltimore, Maryland --d.15 Feb 1877, Salt Creek Township, Wayne County, Ohio (confirmed with death record) Their son Charles Mowry m (1) Martha, and Jeremiah Mowry was one of three children by this marriage.
Jeremiah Mowry
b. 2 May 1838 -- d.23 Apr 1897
m.1.Mary Elizabeth Johnson b.17 Jan 1838 --d.11 Jul 1891
children: Belle Mowry (m. Herbert Houghtaling), Mattie Mowry (m.Charles Fisher)
m.2.Louvina Doubt.
child: Edgar Mowry -- I don't know the places these events occurred, or where Charles Mowry was born. The earliest place of residence of the Henry Mowry family was Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, around 1829. They were in Wayne County, Ohio by 1850. Some parts of the family moved to St. Joseph County Michigan around 1880, some may have moved there before that time.

FREDERICK THE GREAT (1712-86; ruled 1740-86). The boy who was to become a great military leader and king of Prussia began his career hating the life of a soldier. Frederick II was born 24 January 1712, in Berlin. His father was King Frederick William I. His mother was Princess Sophia Dorothea of Hanover, sister of George II of England.
Frederick's father insisted on a practical, military education for his son. The boy preferred music, art, and literature. He rebelled against tobacco, drinking, and hunting, which his father believed were natural pleasures of royalty. The king forbade the prince's tutors to teach him Latin, but he studied it and the classics in secret.
As Frederick became older, the relationship between father and son grew worse. Frederick's mother and his sister Wilhelmina sided with him against his father. This further enraged the stubborn king, who cared for nothing except the state of Prussia. He was horrified by the thought that this youth would one day be king and might wreck Prussia by his incompetence. He became more and more severe with his son, hitting him in public and even beating him with a cane in front of army troops.
When Frederick was 18 years old, he tried to escape the tyranny of his father by running away. Caught before he crossed the border, he was locked in solitary confinement for a time. From a window of his cell he was forced to watch the execution of his closest friend, who had accompanied him in his flight. For a time the cruel king even thought of putting his son to death as a military deserter.
After this incident young Frederick was changed. He became ruthless, crafty, and cynical. He now began training to succeed his father. Gradually the old king gave his son ever greater responsibilities. In 1733, under orders of his father, Frederick married Princess Elizabeth Christina, daughter of the duke of Brunswick-Bevern.
When he came to the throne at the age of 28, Frederick had a keen mind, a strong character, and an ambition that soon engulfed Europe in war. He was to
rule for 46 years, from 1740 to 1786. The first 23 years were devoted chiefly to warfare; the second, to peace and recovery. During the first half of his reign Frederick proved that as a soldier he had no equal. His last 23 years of rule showed that he was one of the enlightened despots of the 1700s. Frederick II worked hard. He acted as his own prime minister and treated his advisers as clerks. Yet, in his few leisure hours he wrote poetry and history. Once he invited the French philosopher Voltaire to his Potsdam palace of Sans Souci. The two soon quarreled, however. (See also Voltaire.)
Immediately after he had become king, Frederick acted on his own advice: "Take what you can; you are never wrong unless you are obliged to give it back." He seized the rich Austrian province of Silesia, which plunged most of Europe into war (see Seven Years' War). It was in this series of struggles, which lasted for more than 20 years, that Frederick's military genius won him the title "The Great." Later he annexed West Prussia through the first partition of Poland.
During the first half of his rule Frederick truly made war the "national industry" of his country. His aggressive campaigns transformed Prussia from a minor state into a major power and nearly doubled the country's size by conquest and by diplomacy. Once he had satisfied his territorial ambitions Frederick undertook great public works and encouraged education, industry, and immigration. Frederick the Great died on Aug. 17, 1786, on the eve of the French Revolution, an event that shook forever the power of kings. Thus he was the last great absolute monarch in Western Europe.
