Holding a bachelors degree from Florida State College for Women, she was able to secure a job at the University of Florida as a secretary and with the money from the land sale she was able to raise her four children. In order to survive, Hettie Lou Niblack Glenn was forced to sell 5000 acres at $25 an acre. Unfortunately, In 1951 he was killed in a hunting accident leaving his wife with the farm and 4 children (ages 4-11). At that time he was running native Florida cattle on over 6000 acres. When DV Glenn came to Florida from his farm in Cairo, GA he took over the portion of the Niblack farm that was inherited by his wife Hettie Lou. Over the last 150 years it has been farmed by some of the county’s oldest families such as the Niblack and Ellis families.

The farm you’re camping on is one of the last family farms remaining in Columbia County and is currently named Glenn Farm after DV Glenn who married Hettie Lou Niblack in the 1930’s.
