    2. Bobbie: I would contact Ritchie and Johnson Funeral Parlor. They may have additional information in their records that will answer your questions and provide even more information. Greentown is not on my 1997 West Virginia Atlas. Perhaps, it was an area of Beckley where Greenwood Memorial Park is located. Just a thought.
