Description
Portrait of Leroy Edward Glunt of Massanutten Military Academy (MMA) in uniform.
Leroy Edward Glunt was born in California, Pennsylvania, the son of James and Sara E. (Humphries) Glunt. He served as a Corporal and later, a Sergeant, in the U.S. Army during World War I. His WWI posts included Camp Humphries, Camp Travis, and Camp Lee, all of which were located in the United States. He was honorably discharged in January 1919.
Leroy married Laura May Killius (1903-1988) in Brooke, West Virginia. Her parents were Andrew and Amelia (Laird) Killius. They had a son, Leroy Humphries Glunt.
Leroy and his wife spent much of the rest of their lives in Woodstock where he worked at Massanutten Military Academy as a teacher, basketball coach, and adjutant while his wife also worked on the campus as a librarian and teacher. The 1946 MMA yearbook includes a photograph of him as an “Adjutant” and notes he was one of three “advisors” for the Varsity “M” Club, which promoted athletics and sportsmanship.
Both he and his wife died in Woodstock and were buried in Massanutten Cemetery.
