William Trenton Greasy, candidate
for the Legislature, was born in Cata-
wissa Township forty-two years ago,
son of Nathan and Susanna Greasy
His ancestors were among the eaRiest
settlers of eastern Pennsylvania and
New Jersey, as we'll as of Columbia
county, some of whom had taken an
active part in the Revolutionary war
MIR. Greasy is graduate of the
Bloomsburg State Normal School, and
has also a German education. He
taught school at the age of sixteen,
and followed teaching in the winter
and working on the farm during the
summer for number of years, and
since that time has devoted his atten-
tion to farming and fruit growing.
He has filled the most trusted
places in the councils of organizations
formed to promote the interests of
Agriculture. Has served as School
Director and various other posittc MS
of trust.
He has always taken an active part
in politics, has. been committeeman,
delegate to our county and State con-
ventions and on several occasions act
ed as substitute on the State COM
mitiee. He served in the last two
sessions of the Legislature with faith
fulness and credit to his county, and
was one of the two members who was
present at every meeting of this body
at these two sessions. In the session
of 1895 he received words of COM
mendation from the newspapers for
the active part he took in passing the
free bridge bill, by which the State is
required to erect bridges across pub
lie streams when destroyed by fire,
water or other casualty. This bill
has already saved Columbia county
over $4,000. At the session of 1897
he was the recognized leader OF the
Democratic party in the House, which
title he won by his ability, honesty,
courage and attention to business and
his courteous treatment to his fellow
members. His advice was frequently
sought on important bills by the lead
ing members of both House and Sen
ate. The records of the House show
that he opposed the infamous electric
light bill and all other monopoly and
jobbery bills. He always took deter
mined stand in favor of the farmers
and laboring mems interests, and was
one of the active members in stand
