near Forestville. The county at that time was sparsely settled, the
nearest trading post being twenty miles away, and a journey to the
mill sometimes occupied several days. Being of ingenious turn of mind,
he made the shoes for his own family and did cobble work for the
neighbors during spare hours. Mrs. Greenlee learned spinning and
weaving and supplied the family with clothing, blankets, etc. IN 1897
he moved to a comfortable home in Summitville to live a retired life.
In politics he was a Republican. Although a member of no church, he

respected and esteemed citizen.
