It still exists today. One of his dau, Ella married Peter French, cattle king of Malheur Co., Oregon who was also Dr. Hugh Glenn's partner. Dr. Glenn was particulary known for helping the down and out. His book keeper was one of these persons. He repaid Doctor Hugh Glenn by laying in wait with and gun and murdering him as he exited a building. He was captured for his crime. (CL-509) Hugh J. Glenn died intestate. On March 14, 1883 the administration of his estate was granted to E. S. Wilson, a brother-in-law of Dr. Glenn. These records indicate that he owned 58,000 acres of land in Colusa County and 60,000 acres in Oregon, another extensive ranch in Nevada and 40,00 head of cattle. His killer's name was Hurman Miller.
