Joshua Greenwood was the son of 1847 prominent Mormon Pioneers, and a sucessful son of a gun!

As we recently discovered this 1934 obituary of Joshua Greenwood, we thought we would get a jump on Pioneer Day and show how this guy may have lived the working spirit of the Mormon Pioneers. This Joshua was an educator; Fifth judicial judge; leader in the LDS church; good business man in running banks in Millard County; St. George, Parowan, Pioche and Payson. He was a "staunch Democrat" living in  Republican Counties, and believed he never lost an election because of his ability to be efficient and straight-forward. One of his daughters lived in Nephi, being Mrs. Hyrum Brough. For a little fun we included the reverse portion of the paper showing homes and cottages for sale in the ritzy areas of Salt Lake, such as the 5 room home up for sale at 1429 Roosevelt Avenue, going for $2,450.00.
