JOEL FRANCIS FREEMAN.
Mr. Freeman was born in New York City, on October 12, 1836. He was the son of Alexander and Hannah Maria (Low) Freeman, and was the sixth in descent from Judge Henry Freeman (1670-1763, who married Elizabeth Bonue, a Huguenot).
Judge Freeman was a prominent figure in the early days in the province of East Jersey. He was a sturdy defender of the rights of the colonists against all encroachments of the royal governors but they recognized his worth and character in re- appointing him one of the six judges of the Court of Common Pleas of Middlesex County for a long period of years. He is buried in the Presbyterian church-yard, at Woodbridge, where he is surrounded by seven generations of descendants.
Mr. Freeman's father died when his son was in his third year, and his mother then moved to her former home in Poughkeepsie, where her son received his early education.
In 1852, he went to Cleveland, Ohio, as an employee of his uncle, John J. Low, in the stove business. Two years later he became clerk in the establishment of Silas Merchant, a manu- facturer of stoves and iron work. In 1857, he became cashier for Hussey and McBride, Commission merchants, who owned a line of steamers to Lake Superior. This firm was among the pioneers in the production of crude petroleum in the oil regions of Pennsylvania and built the first large oil refinery in Cleve- land. This refinery was afterwards acquired by the Standard Oil Company.
In 1863, he formed a partnership with Austin V. Cannon in a general commission business in grain, flour and produce, which
I02
continued until the death of Mr. Cannon in 1867. Six years later, Mr. Freeman disposed of this business and became secre- tary and treasurer of the Cleveland Rubber Co.
In 1876, he removed to New York as an assistant to William Rockefeller in the management of the Standard Oil Company, of Ohio, and upon the incorporation of that Company in New York, Mr. Freeman was made the treasurer of the Company, and remained in this position until 1891, when he resigned on account of his health. He was also the President and a director of the National Standard Insurance Company. While not engaging in active business since 1891, he has been identified with a number of corporations. He was a trustee of the Trust Company of America, and the Real Estate Trust Company; chairman of the Board of Directors of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway Company, the Christopher and Tenth Street Railroad Company, the New York Land and Warehouse Company, the Union Investment Company, and a member of the Advisory Board of the United States Trust and Guarantee Corporation of London.
He was a member of the Union League Club of New York, the Essex County Country Club, the St. Nicholas Society of New York, the Huguenot Society of America, the New England Society, the Civics Club of Orange, the Ohio Society, the Society of Colonial Wars of New Jersey, and the Sons of the American Revolution.
Mr. Freeman married Miss Frances Maria Abbey, on December 5, 1860. She was the daughter of Judge Seth Alden Abbey, of Cleveland. Mrs. Freeman is a direct descendant of John Alden of the Mayflower party; of Jean Vassall, a Huguenot refugee in England, who equipped and commanded two ships of war against the Spanish Armada, and of William Harvey, who was sent by Queen Mary, in 1557, to declare war against France. Her ancestors were also in the Indian and Revolutionary Wars, and were prominent in the early New England Settle- ments.
Mr. Freeman died at his home in East Orange on November
103
16, 1910. He had two sons and two daughters, and is survived by Mrs. Freeman and three children, his second son having died in 1889.
He was well known in the State, and prominent in social and civil life. He took a deep interest in the work of all patriotic societies.
CHARLES ARTHUR GREENE.
Mr. Charles Arthur Greene, was born in Providence, Rhode Island, on March 8th, 1845. He was the son of Albert Collins and Sarah Theresa Thomas Greene. He received his early education at the University Grammar School, Providence, from 1859 to 1862. He went to Brooklyn in 1873, where he married Margaret M. Bromley in the same year.
Mr. Greene was a member of the old firm of Borden & Lovell, Coal Merchants at Battery Place, New York City. He succeeded to his father's interests in 1882, when he became Managing Director of the Borden Coal Mining Company, of Allegany County, Maryland. After having served as his father's aide for several years, he came to New York in 1883 when he formed the partnership which continued until his death. Besides serving the above company as treasurer and director, he held the same offices in the Eastern Coal and Coke Company of New Jersey, and the Lovell Coal Mining Company of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Greene has resided at Summit for the past twelve years, where he enjoyed a peaceful, quiet life among a large circle of friends who appreciated his many sterling qualities. He was always known as a dignified, straightforward and honorable business man, whose acquaintance was sought, because of its peculiar charm. He was also a deeply religious man, and a devoted churchman, scrupulously faithful in the performance of every duty,-a man of rare courtesy, of the old-fashioned type, so delightful because of the serene poise and courtliness so characteristic of it. He was a vestryman of the Calvary Episcopal Church at Summit, from 1899 to the time of his death, and served for several years as the assistant treasurer of the parish.
104
Mr. Greene was a member of several patriotic societies, the Sons of the Revolution, Founders and Patriots, Mayflower and Colonial Wars, serving our Society most faithfully as treasurer from 1900 to the present time. He was also a member of the Highland Club of Summit, and the Church Club of New York.
He passed away in his sleep on January 3rd, 1911, the victim of heart trouble, and was buried at his old home in Portsmouth, Rhode Island.
