EDMOND —
Glenn W. Agan, 78, of Arcadia, Okla., passed away December 2, 2012 at the residence. He was born September 9, 1934 and adopted as an infant by Curtis and Lelah Agan of Clinton, Okla.
Glenn was raised in Custer County and attended Stafford, Clinton High School graduating from Clinton High School.
He married Mary Anne Newman on September 7, 1952, in Clinton, and they recently celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. To this union two girls were born, Sharilyn Ann and Shelia Renea Agan.

In 2001, after 66 years he was reunited with his biological mother, Violet McArthur Potter of Bristow, Okla. After their first meeting Glenn went to Bristow every week to take her to lunch. They would gather up her sister, Ruth Kidd and her brother, Bill J. McArthur and they would all go out to eat. He was so happy that he found her and the rest of his other family. Through this meeting he learned that he was a distant cousin to General Douglas McArthur.
