DODD L. GREER
History of Arizona, page 44-45

Dodd L. Greer, one of St. Johns well known lawyers and the present 
county attorney of Apache County is widely known throughout this 
part of the state because of his unusually successful record  as 
an educator, which calling he followed for three years. 

He was born in Concho, Apache County, on the 4th day of August 
1892 and is the oldest of the seven children who blessed the 
union of Lay and Minerva (Harris) Greer. His father was a native 
of Texas, came to Arizona in 1879 and here became extensively 
engaged in the cattle business at Hunt. Dodd L. Greer received 
his education in the grade schools at Concho and the academy at 
St. Johns which he attended for three years.

He then turned his attention to the cattle business and worked 
as a cowboy for a score of years.  Later he engaged in teaching 
school and during the short period in which he followed that 
line of effort gained recognition as a teacher of ability.  In 
1922 Mr. Greer entered the Hamilton College of Law in Chicago, 
Illinois, the course of which he completed and also studied in 
the office of Judge Gibbons at St. Johns.  He was admitted to 
the bar and has built up a large and remunerative practice.  He 
was elected County Attorney of Apache County, assuming the 
office on January 1, 1929.

Mr. Greer married Hazel Butler in 1912 and they are the parents 
of six children: Leola, aged 16, Mona, aged 14, Loy, aged 11, 
Calvin, age 9, Kent, aged 7 and Dick aged 4. Mr. Greer is a 
member of the Knights of Pythias and takes a keen interest 
in the work of that order. He is a lover of outdoor life, 
fishing and hunting being his favorite forms of recreation.
