Dr. C. M. Green, an estimable, popular and able physician of Morrilton, was born
in Murry County, Tennessee, in 1834. He was the youngest in a family of nine
children born to Sherwood and Elizabeth Green, who were natives of Virginia.
Father was one of the pioneers of Tennessee, immigrating to that State at an
early day. He became a popular and influential citizen, and held the office of
Sheriff of the county and Justice of his township for many years. Mrs. Green
died when our subject was an infant, and his father marrying again, removed to
Arkansas in 1844, and settled in Dallas County, where he died the next year.
After father's death our subject was returned to Tennessee, in the care of an
elder brother (Wm. E.), where he spent his youth and attended school. He was for
a time a student at Bethel College, which, however, he was compelled to leave on
account of ill health before he graduated. In 1855 he began the study of
medicine with Dr. M. E. Davis at Hickory Plains, Prairie County, Arkansas,
having returned to this State in 1851. In 1856 he attended the University at
Louisville, where he was also a private pupil of D. W. Yandel. In the fall of
the same year entered the Medical Department of the University of Nashville, and
graduated from that institution in 1857. He at once returned to White County,
Arkansas, where he located at Peach Orchard Gap, now El Paso, where he began the
practice of his profession, and the next year he was united in marriage to
Miller H. Maxey, daughter of Dr. Maxey of West Tennessee. After practicing in
various places in the eastern part of Arkansas and came to Conway County in
1861, and located at Lewisburg From there he enlisted in the Confederate army in
1862, but on account of impaired health he was in the service but a short time.

since resided. In 1879 came to Morrilton where he was one of the first settlers,
and where he has since resided in the enjoyment of a good practice and a
pleasant home. The Doctor is a member of the Masonic fraternity, and in private
life, as a peaceable and good citizen, he commands the respect of all who know
him.
