Biographical Information.

G. G. Green, a farmer residing near Vidette, Ark., was born on the 19th of
November, 1831, in Montgomery County, N. C., his parents being James and
Elizabeth (Wyatt) Green, who were also born in that State, and removed to
Kentucky in 1832, locating in what was then Galloway County, where they made
their home until their respective deaths. The father was a blacksmith and
farmer, and he and wife were the parents of eleven children, four now living:
George G., Marcus M., Frank and Henry. George G. Greene was an infant when
brought to Kentucky, and he remained in that State until 1857, then emigrating
to Butler County, Mo., where he made his home one year; coming thence to what is
now Clay County, Ark., he located on the farm of 120 acres on which he is now
residing. He has about 100 acres under fence and eighty-five acres under
cultivation, which he devotes principally to raising corn and cotton, but the
soil is well adapted to all cereals. He raises considerable stock during the
year, and is a prosperous farmer, and has shown his enterprise and industry by
putting his farm, which was heavily covered with timber when he settled, in its
present admirable condition. In 1856 he was united in marriage to Miss Melvina
Hyatt, a native of Kentucky, by whom he had three children, only one of whom is
living at the present time: Delia, wife of Albert Rhodenback. His second
marriage took place in 1863, to Miss Sarah J. Gilbert, by whom he has the
following family: William, Robert, Elizabeth, Vernon E., Ida M. and Rosa L. Mr.
and Mrs. Green have long been members of the Methodist Church.
