Glen and Oma had 3 children: Georgia Marie, Orville Emory, and Julia Beatrice "Little Bee" (Little Bee was not born until after the move to Oregon).
Glen (as did some of his brothers) took his family out west. He first managed a wheat ranch in Condon, Oregon. When the owner of the ranch died, Glen moved on to Montana to get in on the Gold Rush (which ended not many years hence). The family lived in Whitcomb, Montana (a mining town near Zortman).
