Although the first Glen came to Canada in about 1869, the first Glen did not arrive in Enderby until 1902. This was Billie (formally Wilhem) Glen.

Billie was a qualified First Class Steam Engineer. He worked in the Columbia Flour Mill in Enderby, operating a steam engine. When the mill closed, Billie worked as an engineer on a Shuswap Lake steamboat, in Bell's Lumber Co. in Enderby, and in the Jenny Long goldmill south of Kamloops. Billie and his wife also homesteaded on the Back Enderby Road.

In 1907, Billie married a local lady, Sarah Jane Johnstone. Sarah was the daughter of John S. Johnstone, builder of cement block houses in Enderby. The couple were married in the Presbyterian Church (now St. Andrews United Church) in Enderby, and they were the first couple to be married in the church.

They had two girls, Helen and Ethel, born in 1909 and 1911 respectively. Helen became a teacher and taught at the Kingfisher school from 1930-36. Ethel married Lloyd Bertram and they had five children, Doreen Ethel, Glen David, Helen Joyce, Joan Beryl, and John Herbert.
