Ellis Whitney Wiltbank
Added to this blog by Kathy Castleton
Ellis Whitney Wiltbank and his wife, Hannah moved to Arizona in about 1881. Hannah Mary was the first postmaster in Greer. He built a two room frame house. There are two stories about the house. One is that it was moved into Eagar from Amity, behind what local people refer to as the "Aunt Rebecca Burgess house." The other story is that Et built the house where it is. In any case, the house is on the west end of 8th Street on Lot 2 of Block 83 of the Eager Town site, and it lies just southwest of a newer house.If you drove west on 8th street at the top of Eagar, you would go right through Aunt Rebecca's new house, and you would miss Spencer Watson's old house because you would run a few feet to the north of his house.
