General Notes: Husband - Matthew Smith Greer

---

He obtained his educa­tion in the schools of Jefferson Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania. The only time he ever left the home farm to work, was for a short period on the con­struction of the Western Pennsylvania Railroad when he stretched the first tele­graph wire into Butler. With this excep­tion, Mr. Greer devoted himself to the cultivation and improvement of his land. His residence was one of ele­gance and fine proportions. It was of brick construction and slate roof and contained ten rooms. It was by far the finest private residence in that section of the county.
He and his wife were active members of the Lutheran Church and he was a member of the church council. He was an Odd Fellow, connected with Saxonia Lodge, No. 496, at Saxonburg and passed all the chairs, while Mrs. Greer was a charter member of the auxiliary order of Rebekah.
