Luzetta Glenn - Luzetta was born August 23, 1868 in Missouri. Luzetta's parents were Lorenzo Dow Glenn and Nancy Crockett Durnell. (Lorenzo Glenn and Nancy Durnell were married November 24, 1867 in South Township, Dade County, Missouri;  W. M. Paris was Justice of the Peace).

Luzetta married a man named Hurst (probably William) and had a son Johnie (John W.) Hurst July 1889.

Luzetta later divorced and married William F. Harrison and had a son Benjamin Franklin Harrison (born March 31, 1892).

Luzetta later married a man T. N. Faught, a local businessman in Fairland, Oklahoma.  This is were Benjamin Franklin Harrison grew up. Also John (Johnie) W. Hurst had grown up and got married and had a child Loyd W. Hurst (born Feb 7, 1909?). John W. Hurst had moved with his wife Freda Lindon to Minneapolis, Minnesota but Loyd W. Hurst stayed both with his grandmother Luzetta and step-grandfather T. N. Faught in Fairland, Oklahoma and occasionally John W. Hurst would come down and pickup his son Loyd and take him back to Minneapolis, Minnesota. This is documented by articles in The Fairland News (Sept 6, 1912 ) - J. W. Hurst of Minneapolis, Minnesota, is here visiting his stepfather, Thomas N. Faught, whom he had not seen for about five years. He will return to his home in a few days, taking with him his little son who has been living with Mr. Faught about two years. MAY 1913 - T. N.
