Glenn was the youngest of a blended family of ten and grew up helping on the homestead and with his father at Baughman Lookout.

Until he started Baughman Surveying in 1965, he almost always worked two jobs as well as operate a 40-acre farm in Tenmile. In 1971, he built a home in Glide, Oregon. Growing up on a homestead he developed a love of farming, first the farm at Tenmile, and later a 10-acre farm and orchard on Lower Garden Valley. Glenn loved the outdoors and his hobbies included hunting, fishing, scuba diving, flying, farming, wood working, and cooking. Glenn married Doree Ellis of Lookingglass, Oregon, in 1951. They had five children, Christine and Gordon Cottrell of Glide; Bradley and Susie Baughman of Glide; Jennifer and Stephen Seefeld of Fort Collins, Colorado; Dana and Anne Baughman of Glide; and Lewis and Karrie Baughman of Roseburg. There are now thirteen grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren. Glenn and Doree divorced, after being married for 33 years.
