General Notes: Husband - Peter Patterson Greenlee

---

He and his brother James went from Pennsylvania to Iowa in the autumn of 1855 and entered government land in Tama County. Mary Jane Guiler went to Iowa the following year, and after their marriage they went to their little cabin home on the prairie where Traer is now located. They cheerfully bore the trials and hardships of a frontier life together until 1863, when in answer to his country's call, he enlisted in the Ninth Iowa Cavalry. The day after his eldest child, Margaret, was buried, he bade goodbye to his wife and remaining children, and went with his company to guard the railroad running into Little Rock, Arkansas. In September, 1864, he was given a furlough and went home, where he died six weeks later.
