      Captain John Greer

      Obituary

      CAPTAIN JOHN GREER
      Captain John Greer came to San Francisco aboard the bark, Wild Duck, in 1850, a year and a few months after the discovery of gold. He was welcomed by a forest of masts from abandoned ships, whose crews had fled to the gold fields.
      This dedicated Irish Presbyterian, who was born on August 22, 1808, at Armagh, Lurgan County, Ireland, came south rather than north, and with a small crew, floated down the bay to the mouth of the San Francisquito Creek, which they sailed as far up as possible.
      John Greer served as Justice of the Peace for Greersburg, which was growing every month, although not by much. It never did become much more than a number of houses and shacks with families and children.

      Greer loved the children, and so he decided to start a school for them. The school grew, and a board of trustees was established and, of course, John was on the board. Another need was a library, so John Greer and Andrew Teague started the first library in San Mateo County in what is now Woodside. That town grew around the little town of Greersburg, which then ceased to exist as a town.
      When Greer died on February 13, 1885, he could not be buried in Holy Cross Cemetery in Menlo Park with the rest of his family since he was still a Presbyterian. Holy Cross was consecrated by Archbishop Joseph Alemany in 1883 and was closed to all but Catholics.
      In the process of finding a final resting place for Greer, the decision was made to bury him in Union Cemetery. However, when they learned that the ground was only consecrated to six feet deep, they had John is buried in Union Cemetery in plot 156, very close to the front gate, and he is buried nine feet deep. A very nice red rose on the plot celebrates this wonderful man. He was 76 years old when he passed.

              The Searchlight, Culbertson, MT, 8 March 1912
              Scared Cow Kills Woman
              Redwood City, Calif.--The mad plunge of a cow, which was excited by a freight train, has resulted in the death of Mrs. August Grimenstein, a pioneer of Redwood City. Mrs. Grimenstein was walking through a pasture as the train passed her and its stake, which it had pulled up, caught in her dress. Mrs. Grimenstein was thrown to the ground and concussion of the brain resulted.

              Mrs. Grimenstein was 58 years old and had lived in Redwood for the last twenty years. She is survived by six children.

              Death claims another pioneer.
              Mrs. Henrietta Matilda Grimmenstein, an old pioneer of this city, passed away Thursday evening after an illness of some weeks. Meningitis was the cause of death. The ailment was brought on by injury received from a fall some time ago. The deceased was a native of Germany, aged 60 years and ten months. She had resided in Redwood City upwards of forty years. Mrs Grimmenstein was a hard working industrious woman who by frugality and close economy accumulated a competency that would have enabled her to spend her remaining years in comfort. He husband proceeded her to the grave in 1903. Mrs. Grimmenstein leaves six grown up children to mourn her. The funeral took place Sunday at 2 o'clock from her late residence. Interment was in Union Cemetery. The surviving relations of Mrs. Grimmenstein desire to return thanks to their friends and neighbors for the kindness and assistance given them during their troubles.
