Edward Weir joins James Weir Jr. & Son as the firm opens a branch at Greenwood Cemetery
By the time the enlarged greenhouse was built, the business was James Weir, Jr. & Son. James E. Weir became his father's partner in 1888, and in 1894 Edward Weir, probably James E.'s son, joined the firm, which that year opened a branch at the cemetery's southern entrance on Fort Hamilton Avenue. All three Weirs lived on 25th Street near the greenhouse: James Jr. at No. 236 for most of his adult life, while James E. and Edward shared No. 228, a house that still stands.
