The Old Timers column will be continued as long as we find the persons who have a vivid recollection of the early days and who are entitled to recognition as Old Timers by having lived in this vicinity previous to 1856.

OLD TIMERS
Having lived here sixty-five years, all her life, Mrs. Felix Greenwood is the oldest resident born at this place. In a little log house that once stood where Geimer's saloon is now located, she was born in September, 1848. Her father was Anton Cayo who came here from Canada in 1847. He found employment for a time in the saw mill. Then he drove team, worked in Whitcomb's tannery and picked tan bark. He died 38 years ago.
Mrs. Greenwood has a good memory. She remembers that her father drove a team when she was three years of age. She also remembers an incident at that age when she ran and hid in the woods right near their hut to escape a spanking from mother. During her sixty-five years of life in Two Rivers, Mrs. Greenwood has not been away from the vicinity over a week altogether. A few years ago she was at Sheboygan to attend a funeral. Later she was at Kewaunee to attend a funeral and a few months ago she was at Milwaukee on business for one day.
