  • Notes 
    • According to Pastor Dennis A. Kastens, an authority on the families of Nothweiler, Germany, Jacob Grueny was confirmed on Palm Sunday in 1857 with a grade of "fairly good"--that is "ziemlich gut"--noted by the pastor.

      According to the 1870 census, Jacob and his wife Louisa lived in Lower St. Clair Township in Allegheny Co., Pennsylvania and he was a laborer. According to family lore, he came from Friedrichshafen, Germany (in Bavaria, near the Swiss border) during a time of Protestant persecution. According to the 1900 census, Jacob immigrated to America in 1866 while Louisa immigrated to America in 1869. In 1900, they lived in Baldwin Township. He later lived in the farmhouse above Valleydale in Brentwood at the end of East Garden Road. (A street, Jacobson Way, was named after him.)

      The following obituary was published in the March 17, 1918 edition of The Pittsburgh Press:

      JACOB GREENE

      Jacob Greene, aged 74, husband of Louisa Dauenhauer Greene, died Saturday, at his residence, Greene's lane, Brentwood. He was a member of the Zion Lutheran church and a well-known farmer. He was a resident of Baldwin township for the past 48 years. He is survived by his wife, four sons, Jacob, Nicholas, Martin and Frederick Greene; four daughters, Mrs. Frederick Brudin, Mrs. A P. Trimble. and Mrs. John Schlutz and Miss Laura Greene, at home. Two brothers, Davld and Philip Greene, and one sister, Mrs. Jacob Neuhardt, and 20 grandchildren.
