Per research notes of Vicky Dennis and her mother-in-law Imogene Wehunt-Meekins, (Harley Edward Greene's granddaughter)
Harley Edward Greene "was a talented Woodworker.
He made hand-carved furniture: rocking chairs, grandfather Clocks, and watches. Daddy would get loads of rocking chairs and sell them by the truckloads in Missouri and California. He made 3 grandfather clocks, one for each of his daughters to be given as gifts when they married. Since Mable was the oldest and got married first, she got hers. But Harley needed the money so he sold the other two and where they ended up we have no idea. He also made "saving boxes"; they're boxes that sit on your dresser to put things in and he hand-carved them. He made one for each of his daughters and their husbands.
During the Depression, Harley with his 3 daughters and their husbands and children worked in Staves Mills. Harley would buy tracts of lumber and sell the lumber to beer companies to be used to make beer barrels and wooden kegs for beer. When the timber was gone we would move somewhere else and start over. We traveled around together like a band of gypsies; this is how we grew up. We were a close family."
