- Biography of Minnie Louise Greene
Minnie Louise (nee Clift) Greene was the youngest daughter of John Atkins Clift, Chief of Police in Morristown in 1880. Born September 12, 1871, she married Robert E. Greene (sometimes spelled without an e) of Boonton, New Jersey at the age of 23. In 1894 the couple moved to Summit New Jersey where her husband set up a jewelry and watchmaking business. Around 1910 the Greenes moved to Speedwell Avenue in Morristown. By 1911, M. Louise Clift is listed in the Morristown Business Directory under Photographers at the Speedwell Avenue address. As one of Morristown's first business women, she ran her own studio and sold her own photographs. Even after the death of her husband in 1914, M. Louise continued to live and work in Morristown, eventually moving from Speedwell Avenue to King Street, then to Spring Place by 1938. It is believed that M. Louise Greene spent her final days at The Methodist Home for the Aged in Ocean Grove, New Jersey in the late 1940's.
