James E. Glendenning/Iowa

Was James also from Iowa?I have been triing to make a connection to my Gr. Grandf.Henry Glendenning of Mt. Ayre?Iowa Who Married Elizabeth Jordan in 1904
My Grandf.Ames was born in 1905 in Iowa and his sisters Rosetta and Evelyn later.
Around 1915 Henry followed the threshing crew north toward Minn.for the fall harvest,He never returned,And as was the custom in those days he was declared dead after two years,The truth is he was not dead,But no one in the family heard from him until some time in the 50's,When he wrote a letter to his sister explaining that he had been living in Milwaukee,Wis.all those years and was in fact now dying.Elizabeth had moved near to Greeley Colorado nearer to the small town of Gill and remarried to Charlie Armfield A farmer
