   Alanson A. Greenwood, live-stock dealer, Attica, was born in Bethel, Oxford
county, Maine, in 1828. He received an academic education; for a few years he
worked at making sash, doors and blinds; and was afterward merchandising. In
1857 he emigrated to Leavenworth, Kansas; and in 1860 came to Fountain county,
and until 1877 lived in Shawnee township. Between 1860 and 1865 he was operating
the Greenwood mill with his uncle, Harley Greenwood. In the latter year he and
F. W. McCoughtry bought that property and manufactured flour till 1877, since
which time they have rented it. During the same period these gentlemen have also
been largely engaged in handling stock. For the past ten years their sales have
annually reached $500,000. They make weekly shipments to Buffalo. In 1877 he
removed to Attica where his family has since resided. He was married in 1850,
and again in 1868. His whole time is engrossed with an extensive business. In
politics he is a republican.
