GEORGE G. GREENE

  George G. Greene, former resident of Meyersdale and frequent visitor here, and 
well known in railroad circles, died at Painesville, Ohio, where he lived, 
Tuesday evening, Sept. 17, following a paralytic stroke, several days before, 
from which he never recovered consciousness.  He was born December 17, 1864, at 
Ellerslie, Md.  when a young man he came to Meyersdale in the employ of the 
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.  He became acquainted with Annie C. Baer, daughter 
of the late Solomon and Eliza Baer, whom he married in 1886.  Mrs. Greene 
preceded him to the grave 34 years ago.  One son, born to this union, died in 
infancy.
  Mr. Greene visited in Meyersdale for Memorial Day every year since the death 
of his wife, until this year when he was unable to make the trip due to ill 
health.  When here he spent his time at the homes of his sisters-in-law, Misses 
Maggie and Lillian Baer, and Mrs. William B. Grof, and his nephew, Frederick L. 
Grof.  He was a man of fine character and was loved by all who knew him.  He was 
a thirty-second degree Mason and a Shriner and was very active in these lodges.
  He is survived by one sister, Mrs. C. Stewart, of Pittsburgh, and a number of 
nieces and nephews.
  The body will arrive here at 1:49 a.m. Friday, and be taken to the home of Mr. 
and Mrs. Frederick L. Grof, 224 North Street, where the funeral services will be 
held Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock, conducted by Rev. H. K. Hilner of Zion 
Lutheran Church.  Funeral arrangements in charge of H. R. Konhaus, mortician.
