GREENBUSH

In the palmy days of early Andalusia, a rival existed one mile west. Jabez Cobeldick, a resi dent, built a warehouse in the woods, on the river bank and called the place Cobeldick's Landing. There were two lumber yards. In a roughly built shanty, there in the early fifties, the children of Andalusia attended school.

Of them, men of later prominence in business and professional life, mothers and grandmothers, tenderly beloved, went forth into the world. The place was named and is now known as Greenbush. A little further west stands a modern couutry schoolhouse. There are nearby farmhouses, but nothing remains of the cabins or warehouse to mark the spot of Cobeldick's Landing.
