Both the Greenwood and the Tubbs families came to San Francisco in the year 1852. George D.

During this latter incumbency, he retired to private life. His wife was born in Oakland, and died March 2, 1919. They were the parents of two children: Susan, who is now the wife of Herbert E.

After his graduation, he became connected with the S. E. Slade Lumber Company, with which he remained for two years in the capacity of secretary. He then took up the import and export business in San Francisco under the firm name of Greenwood & Anderson, which he continued until 1925, and was next employed by the bond house of Mysell, Moller & Company until January, 1928. On January 3, 1929 he was elected vice president, also reelected in 1930. On October 1, 1930, he became a general partner of St. Goar & Company, with the consolidation of his stock brokerage business and that of Edward Pollitz & Company. He was elected president of the San Francisco Curb Exchange in January, 1931. The offices of St. Goar & Company are at 1831 Russ building. Mr. Greenwood is known as a competent authority on stock values, and his counsel in financial matters is rated high in business circles.

Smith, who was born in Whiting, Indiana, a daughter of Joseph P. and Edith (Stratton) Smith, her father being a retired director of the Standard Oil Company of California.
