John Broten with son Glen (10 years old) moved to Glenfield in 1913, where he set up a general merchandise store. They lived in living quarters in back of the store until their house was finished in 1914.

Glenfield was booming and growing. Glen remembers awakening in mornings to the sound of hammers pounding all around. John Broten sold store, bought farm in Walen, North Dakota, and retired there 'n 1921.
