Notes |
- BIOGRAPHY: E. P. Greenwood was one of the more successful among the former Pine Forest residents. He married the former Edna Elina Minter in 1899 at Sulphur Springs. He sold insurance for a while part time, while he farmed and also taught school. The volume of his insurance sales caught the interest of his sales manage, who initiated a move for him to a territory with a greater potential. He was productive and he liked the business. Subsequently, he organized the Wichita Southern Life Insurance Company at Wichita Falls, Texas.
Some years later, as the Company was prospering, he sold it out to Great Southern Life Insurance Company of Houston, Texas. He was President and C. E. O. of the Great Southern for many years, and until his death in 1944.
