Ranging from patent medicines to payday loans, the good druggist was also called once to testify in a drawn-out divorce proceeding of a woman in Greensburg who was accused of mental illness amid her infidelity. Not clear was the matter of sexual orientation. Messy stuff. It went on for 3 years in one form or other. It isn't clear on what his testimony might have included.
Not that it mattered, but a 1925 Atlas shows Mary Cory and John Linegar owned adjoining farms south of Fairfield near the river. Suppose ... nah? She just bought the building, right? And rented it to the good doctor. Sure, whatever.
Dr. Linegar died in March 1923. He was only 60. His father, Daniel, had been a surgeon in the Union Army during the Civil War.
Doc Linegar had other connections to Greensburg, namely brothers Oscar and Daniel, who ran a somewhat prosperous mercantile operation. They probably didn't lend money, though. This ad is from 1918, during the war.
You could call either number.
