the Grave in St. Joseph.
ST. JOSEPH. Mo-, March PA
woman died in an upstairs room Al
No. 1915 North Third street Satur-
day night, with an untold secret. She
was known as Mrs. Stella Glenn, but
that was not her name. She was
known as the probable wife Of Henry
Glenn, a mysterious man Of whose
history very little is known. The
woman was buried in Mount Mora
Cemetery and the man DISAPPEARED.
In her last illness the woman was at
tended by DIR. S. E. Cloud, and. al
though She knew she must die. she
gave no intimation of what her past
life had been. She died OF pneumo-
MIA and complication Of diseases.
The man who passed As her
husband nursed the sick
woman and for ten days
and nights before her death did not
close his eyes in sleep. After the
womans death and burial DIR. Cloud
received a letter from Edwards 4
Davidson, attorneys at Jefferson city,
inquiring about the womans death
and the whereabouts of the man.
They wanted descriptions OF Henry
Glenn and the women known as his
wife. The woman's name, the attor-
news said. was believed to be Mrs.
Stella Hunzeker, and they first heard
of her death through letter written
by Glenn. They wanted to establish
the identity of the woman and find
the man.
j More was learned yesterday con-
corning the mysterious couple whose
secret was brought to light by the
womanis death. Mrs. Ella Hunzeker,
q vars Old, was the wife of Fred
erck Hunzeker, a wealthy citizen Of
Cole county, whose home is near the
state capital Mrs. Hunzeker was o.
German descent, blue eyed and dark
haired. She was a pretty woman
: She met Henry Glenn and left he
: pleasant home and her husband t.
: live with him. Frederick Hunzeke
: has brought suit in the Cole county
| circuit court for divorce from his err
| ing wife, charging her with disregard
t ing her duties as wife and abscond
! ing with Henry Glenn. The case wa
7 set for trial on May Is, when Glenn
0 and Mrs. Hunzeker disappeared iron
l Jefferson City, and it is believed tina
e they went to Kansas. Glenn him
= self stated that they had been Twin
e in Atchison before their removal t
o this city. A month ago they move
: into the upstairs rooms at 1915 Mort
j. Third street, where they lived unit
y the young woman's death, shunnin
It the society of other people. Glen
e paid all his bills during his brief res
o dence in this city, and always SCENE
= to have plenty of money. 1t is nc
Is known that he had any employment
y or ever sought any. Everything h
q did had an air of secrecy to it, an
d he seldom talked. He was about tt
d same age as the woman who passed
e his wife.
o The inquiry and search Tor Glen
le has never ceased since the woman
70 death. Descriptions have been SCI
E. to the Jefferson City attorneys an
,r they, being apparently satisfied he
IS the man wanted, have made efforts
find him. A detective searched IL
a city yesterday for Henry Glenn al
1. spent a good part Of the day in Il
1t vicinity of the place where the "
id man died, making inquiries. The d
re tective refused to say why such scarf
lie was made, but intimated on mo
id than one occasion that he was anxiO1
