Eliza Glenn (1840-1880) is most familiar to visitors at Chickamauga National Battlefield Park as "Widow" Glenn. She and her first husband established a farm together at what is now the site of Wilder Tower in the Battlefield. John soon joined the Confederate Army and was killed in action, leaving Eliza a widow at the tender age of 23 as the forthcoming Battle hurtled toward her home – finally striking on September 18-20, 1863. Glenn quickly abandoned the area for safety, and her small cabin briefly became the field headquarters of the Union Army. The cabin was completely destroyed during the battle. Today, the only thing that remains is the hearthstone, located a few feet north of the Tower. Glenn remarried, but never returned to her home after the battle.
"Widow" Eliza Glenn is buried in a fenced-in grave on the grounds of Cove Methodist Church on Georgia Highway 341, where our journey begins. (This very well-maintained historic building is not presently used for regular services.) Notice the iron "CSA" crosses beside many of the graves, which identify those who served in the Confederate armed forces.
An inscribed tablet is placed in front of the grave. Refer to it to obtain the following numbers:
A = Last digit of the year of her marriage to her second husband, divided by 2.
B = Add the digits of Eliza's birthdate.
C = Number of characters in her second husband's last name.
D = Last digit of the year in which John Glenn died.
Now, walk a short distance to find the final, just outside the churchyard at N 34º 49.0AB, W 085º 19.CD0.
