   DR. P. B. GREEN is a native of De Kalb county, Ala., and was born June 28,
1852, near Fort Payne-then an old Indian fort and trading post. He was educated
until the age of eighteen in his native county, and then began the study of
medicine under his father, Dr. A. B. Green, who prepared him for Vanderbilt
university, from which he graduated in 1875 in medicine and subsequently
graduated in the same year from the medical department of the university of
Tennessee at Nashville. He first practiced a year at Fort Payne and then went to
Texas, where he practiced about eighteen months near Waco; the following three
years he practiced near Columbus, Kan., and then moved to Webb City, Jasper
county, Mo., where he carried on a prosperous business for about eight years. In
1884, he returned to Fort Payne, Ala., where he still resides, meeting with the
most flattering success. He stands very high in the estimation of his
fellow-practitioners, and fraternizes with them as a member of the Tri-state
Medical society, and is a member of the American Medical society. In May, 1890,
he was sent as a delegate from the Tri-state society to the American Medical at
their meeting in Nashville, Tenn., and proved to be an able representative. In
August, 1892, he was elected coroner of De Kalb county. The doctor is a Knight
of Pythias and in religion affiliates with the Methodist Episcopal church,
south. Dr. A. B. Green, father of Dr. P. B. Green, was born in Blount county,
Tenn., July 9, 1818, received his preparatory education in his native county and
attended the Southwestern Theological semniary at Maryville until he was
eighteen years of age, and located at what is known as Dalton, Ga. He had
already begun the study of medicine in Maryville, under Dr. Robert Hodgson, and
at Dalton continued its study and finished his preparation of the course under
Dr. Gideon Thompson, at Cleveland, Tenn., after which he entered the
Transylvania university, at Lexington, Ky., from which he graduated in medicine
in 1843. He then returned to De Kalb county, Ala., and began practice, and has
remained there until the present time. During the Mexican war he entered the
First regiment of Alabama volunteers as first lieutenant, but was later made
assistant surgeon with the rank of captain, in which capacity he served twelve
months. In 1861 he entered the Confederate service-first in a battalion, and
then as a private in the First Tennessee cavalry. He was soon promoted to be
assistant surgeon in this latter corps, and served until late in 1862, when he
returned to his home. The marriage of Dr. A. B. Green took place in 1851 to
Ellen P. Bruce, and to this union were born five children, of whom four are
still living, viz.: Dr. P. B. Green, Dr. W. M. Green, A. B. Green and J. G.
Green, all of Fort Payne, Ala. Of late years the doctor has practically retired
from active practice and is attending to his large farming interests.
