Edwin Greener

Ed Greener became a mail carrier in Greenland in 1922, delivering the mail by horse and buggy three days a week. He became the community messenger in addition to bringing eggs, milk and medicine when needed. A new route was established in 1920 out of Greenland, which went east to Spring Valley and back to Greenland along today’s Jones Road.

In 1912, he married Emily Ellen Buckner, daughter of James and Mahala Buckner, early residents of Spring Valley. Emily was a station agent for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, beginning before he was married and continuing after her children were born.

Mr. Greener delivered the mail until 1959 when the post office in Greenland closed.
