General Notes: Husband - Culbert Manes Greer


He left school when eighteen years of age, having attended Jefferson Academy and Washington and Jefferson College. He then left the home farm and for the following eight years was engaged in a hardware and implement business, and when he disposed of that, he returned to the farm in Cecil Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, where he went into the registered stock business. He became a well-known and reliable breeder of Holstein and Guernsey cattle and also trotting and draft horses, and owned some of the finest stock in Washington County. In 1899 he began optioning coal for the Pittsburg Coal Company, and perhaps purchased more valuable coal properties than any man ever connected with the company. His business judgment was almost faultless and his tact and diplomacy were also recognized factors. Mr. Greer owned a large amount of property located in different sections, valuable farm land in Chartiers Township and realty in Canonsburg. He was a resident of Washington County beginning when he was ten years old, and he lived in the vicinity of the borough of Canonsburg from about 1862. His business interests were many, varied and important and his name was seldom found identified with any enterprise that was not solidly financed. He was a member of the Greenside United Presbyterian Church, of which he was a trustee for over twenty years. In his political views he was a Republican. [TCHWWC, 570]
