C. Chandler & Co.'s Business Directory For Indiana GREENSBURG. The county seat of Decatur county, on the Indianapolis, Cincinnati & Lafayette railroad, sixty-nine miles from Cincinnati and thirty-one from Indianapolis. The country surrounding Greensburg is rich and productive, and well settled with thrifty and enterprising farmers, thus giving a good support to the place. The town is laid out with much taste and has some buildings as fine as any in the State, among which are the Court House erected at a cost of about $150,000, a fine graded school, good churches, &c. A large hotel has been erected within the last year, that will compare for convenience and comfort with any in the State. It has a population of about 5,000. Agricultural Implements.
