General Notes: Husband - Charles H. Greer


He attended public school and was only a boy when he commenced to work regularly. He was variously employed until he entered upon an apprenticeship to the trade of tinsmith at Clintonville, at which place he continued to reside until his removal to Frank­lin about 1900. Here for the ten years following he was in the employ of George Maloney, remaining with him until he decided to go into business on his own account. He purchased the roofing business of James Elliott and has since devoted all his time to it, the volume of work having increased meantime so greatly that he keeps from eight to ten men busy. The trade has grown steadily, on a basis of satisfactory service which could not fall short of success, and Mr. Greer's ability and executive qualities have proved fully adequate for its expanding requirements. He has kept himself thoroughly up-to-date in the matter of modern equipment adapted to the performance of neat, substantial work, and well informed on the materials obtainable in the market today and their proper use. His operations include general sheet metal work as well as all kinds of built-up roofing, slate and tin roofing, and the handling and placing of metal spouting of all kinds. His place of business is on Howard Street, in the Third ward, Oil City, and his out-of-town patronage comes largely from Meadville, Titusville and Warren, as well as smaller places in the vicinity. He has done a great deal of work at the State Institution at Polk, Venango County. Mr. Greer is popular personally as well as in his business connections. In religion he is associated with the Methodist Church. [CAB, 984]
