ABIJAH GREENWOOD Job 5:6--Thous shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like a shock of corn cometh in his season. How beautiful to feel and know of a life full of usefulness gathered into the heavenly garner at God's own good time. At the age of twenty-seven, Mr. Greenwood came to Kansas in the pride of manhood when his eyes were bright with hope as he looked into the future. He was not as successful as some men in a business point of view, but his claim house was a happy home and a mecca for any way-faring stranger, later when his home was pretentious, there was the same genial hospitality. His hearty laugh, his cherry greetings has scattered more gloom than the average person. In all the relations of life he stood by his convictions and died as he had lived--an honest man. Abijah Greenwood was born October 11, 1842 and died November 13, 1930, age 88 years, 1 month and 2 days. Mr. Greenwood landed in Kansas in 1869 taking a claim on Caney river and the Greenwood ford is yet a favorite meeting place. He had married Miss Anna Weeks in Illinois and brought his bride with him in a covered wagon, leading a cow behind the wagon. He and his wife were the parents of eight children. Their daughter Kate (now dead) was the first white child born in the township. The children now living are: Joseph of Filer, Mrs. Maud Hawkins of Filer, Mrs. Grace McQuire of Buhl, Idaho, Cyrus of Haggart, Kansas and Charles of the home address. While the children were small, the wife was taken and a few years later he married Mrs. Alice Walters, a widow with four children whom he raised as his own. To this union was born one child, Mrs. Nellie Pierce, now of Twin Falls, Idaho. This wife was also taken and after a few years he was married to Mrs. R.S. Brown. The word home always sounded like poetry to the aged when "Holiness to the Lord" is written over the door and the western slope has been made beautiful by the rainbow promises of God's love. Mr. Greenwood accepted Christ as his Savior and was baptized by pastor D.N. Manley, March 20, 1910 and continued to hold his membership with the Christian church. Besides his faithful and devoted wife, his own children and his step-children who have been true to him, he leaves twenty-seven grandchildren and fourteen great grandchildren to mourn his loss. He has passed over, entered that life Free from all care, from all turmoil and strife. He is now waiting on bright heaven's shore To greet all his loved ones when life is no more. Funeral services were held at the Methodist church, Saturday at 2 p.m., concluded by Mrs. Belle Reid Yates, assisted by Pastor R.L. Kuhns. Burial is Greenlawn cemetery. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Howard Courant - March 2, 1911
