Glenn Legge Sr.

Floyd trained horses in Nova Scotia for WWI. He and his family lived in Portland with his Wife's sister Carrie when they initially arrived in the U.S. For a short time he repaired automobiles in Portland. He purchased a small farm in Gray, Maine where he raised chickens for the eggs. Twice a week Elizabeth would fill the trunk of their old gray fastback Chevy with eggs (mostly brown) and her gladiolas to sell on her egg route.
