General Notes: Husband - Davison Greenawalt


He was educated in the schools of Chambersburg, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. He began farming in 1872, on the farm owned by his father, where he remained five years, and then went west as far as California with a view of finding a situation suited for horticultural purposes. After an absence of several months he returned in 1878, and resumed farming, but began to pay special attention to horticulture. He devoted much of his time and gave much study to fruit raising, and became the proprietor of the Siberia Fruit Farm, which was part of the old Greenawalt homestead. He had about twenty acres devoted to horticultural uses. For more than twenty years he made scientific fruit raising a profession, and was acknowledged as an authority on the subject.
In politics he was a Republican worker, and for twenty years he was a delegate from his township to Republican County Conventions. He also served his party as a member of the Republican County Committee. Mr. and Mrs. Greenawalt were members of the First Lutheran Church of Chambersburg.
