General Notes: Husband - Clinton DeWitt Greenlee

---

He was adopted by his grandparents. He was educated in the public schools and graduated from the high school. After his graduation he entered the employ of George C. Anderson, at Schamburg, Venango County, Pennsylvania, at that time one of the foremost oil operators in the state. In the service of Mr. Anderson he learned much about the oil operations, and in 1873 he became associated with others in operations in several of the most important oil districts of the state. He went to Butler County in 1883, and developed a business that gave him rank among the largest producers in the country. The firm of Greenlee and Forst, organized in 1891, of which he was senior member, were large operators in the field, and had a number of productive wells in the district known as Glad Run and Renfrew. They also had operations in Washington County, Pennsylvania, where a number of fine wells were now producing. Mr. Greenlee was the organizer of the United States Oil Company, composed principally of Boston capitalists, which had very large interests in Marion, Wood, and Wetzel counties, West Virginia, where they operated on a very large scale, having as many as three hundred wells at one time in which they were interested. Mr. Greenlee was Vice-President and General Manager of the company. He was also a director of the Alliquippa Steel Works located at Alliquippa, Beaver County, Pennsylvania. He was also connected with the Trade Dollar Mining Company of Idaho, whose mines were considered among the best paying ones in that state; and with the Pure Oil Company of Oil City, Pennsylvania. Mr. Greenlee had offices in Pittsburgh; but all his spare time was spent at his beautiful home, located on one of the finest residence streets of Butler.
