General Nathaniel Greene, for whom Greene County was named, visited with members of the Greene County Genealogical Society last Saturday. He gave a shout-out to Genealogical Society member Joanne Toliver Legore; One of her ancestors married a descendant of Gen. Greene.

Greene County Historical Society director Roger Aegerter began portraying Gen Greene about a year ago. He was busy last weekend, also showing up Sunday dressed as the somber man in Grant Wood’s “American Gothic” painting for an Historical Society program. See related story under the “Features” tab.
