I did some research on the people buried in the cemetery I am calling the Lane & Glenn Cemetery. Here is what I discovered.

Gus Glenn was born 1870 in Tennessee. Son of Harrit Lane and Unknown. In one Sumner Co. TN census record Gus Glen is listed as Gus Lane. Gus married Pollie Bowls (born March 1867), on Feb 8, 1898 in Sumner Co. TN. One known child, Polly Glenn (possibly stepchild) born abt. 1905 in TN. In the 1930 Sumner Co. TN Census Gus is living with his mother, Harrit/Harriett and is listed as single.

Bettie Lane - No information.

Harrit Lane was born abt 1855 in Tennessee. Died after 1930. Her father is probably Tilman Lane. In one census record American Lane is listed as her stepmother. Her father Tilman Lane died in May 1880 of consumption in Sumner County, TN. Possible children of Harrit's are: Gus (born 1870), Lucy (born 1874), Catherine (born 1877), Shellis (born Jan 1880), Mary (born Aug 1884). These children are either her children or grandchildren: Houston (born Oct 1892, William/Jeff (born April 1897).

Lucy Lane was born abt August 1874 in Tennessee. Daughter of Harrit Lane and Unknown. In the 1930 Sumner Co. TN Census Lucy is living with her mother, Harrit/Harriett.
