Notes: The obituary I found for Emma Glenz was suprisingly brief. However, I did find several articles about her in local newspapers that provide some more information about this remarkable Madison Central High School alumna. Her class year in based on information in the 1902 Tychoberahn. Greg Fahey is the man responsible for my posthumous introduction to Miss Glenz. In a letter Greg mailed to me a few months ago, he wrote:
"Also, Nadine, when I was taking calls from Bill Blandino at Badger Cab, I would occasionally encounter the august Miss Emma Glenz. I fondly recall the times when we would talk in my cab before she got out at her apartment in the 600 block of East Johnson St. I am hoping that you might have her obituary."
Although I wasn't able to respond to Greg's request immediately, I really appreciate his willingness to direct my attention to Miss Glenz.

My grandma was a good friend of Emma's and we still have many of Emma's letters and homemade cards. A remarkable woman.
