Ida Miller Glenn Died Saturday
Wife Of County Judge Glenn Called From Life After Only One Weeks Illness
Native of This County and Member Of One of Best Known Families of Choctaw Nation
The Hugo Husonian March 20, 1913 – transcribed by Ron Henson
At the same place where she was born July 28, 1883, Ida Miller Glenn, wife of County Judge W.T. Glenn, passed from life early Saturday, at the family home just west of the city limits.
Mrs. Glenn became ill Sunday but at that time it was not considered serious. Peritonitis developed, however, and Mrs. Glenn sank rapidly, recovering to some extent Thursday. Her father, Dr. J.H. Miller had gone back to Antlers, but in response to a call from Judge Glenn reached here Friday afternoon. Mrs. Miller, the mother, was here with the stricken woman when death ended her sufferings.
Ida Miller was born at the time above stated at the old Dr. Miller place not owned by the Glenns. The old family home was destroyed by fire, but the house in which Mrs. Glenn died stood by the place where she was born, thirty years ago. Some time after her birth Dr. Miller moved his family to Paris, where Mrs. Glenn was reared, the family moving to Antlers many years ago, that city then being the most important in the southeastern section of the present Oklahoma. Mrs. Glenn was of a large family, five brothers, two sisters and the father and mother survive her. The parents, Dr. and Mrs. J.H. Miller, reside at Antlers, and the brothers and sisters really call that home, although they own and operate ranches throughout Atoka, Pushmataha and McCurtain counties.
Miss Miller was united in marriage to W.T. Glenn in September, 1900. To that union four children were born, the oldest being Virginia, age 12, and Marguerite, two years younger, Jack 8, and Henry Grady, who is but five years of age.
The remains were shipped to Antlers Saturday, where interment will occur Sunday morning at 11 o’clock. Many relatives and friends accompanied the bereaved family on the journey to the parental home where tomorrow the last rites will be held over the remains of the young wife and mother.

The Hugo Husonian 2nd Edition March 20, 1913 – transcribed by Ron
Henson
Mrs. W.C. Worsham, who resided with her husband on Crowder prairie, some distance out of Boswell, was the victim of an accident Wednesday that cost her life. According to the information which came via Boswell, Mr. and Mrs. Worsham went down in the Lick creek valley to clear off some land. While burning timber, the woman stepped too close to a pile of burning brush, and her dress was set on fire. In an instant her entire body was a mass of flames. Mr. Worsham undertook to tear the woman’s clothes from her body and in his efforts was so badly burned that it is believed that both hands will have to be amputated.
Before the clothes were torn from the woman her body was terribly burned, and although Mr. Worsham was almost crazed by the injuries he had sustained, he secured medical aid and the woman was taken to her home, some distance from the scene of the terrible incident.
Mrs. Worsham died Thursday and the source of information which was received Friday evening stated that the husband would possibly lose one arm as the result of injuries he had sustained.
