JOSEPH GREEN.

   Among the self-made men of Rock Creek township Joseph Green is one of the
reliable, honest men of the community, who has progressed from an humble station
in life to that of a successful agriculturist of Carroll county, where he has
the reputation of being one of the most industrious farmers of his district, and
one who has earned all he now possesses entirely through his own efforts.

   Joseph Green, farmer, Burrows, Indiana, was born on February 29, 1856, in
Adams township, Carroll county, and is a son of Jesse and Lucinda (Redenhour)
Green. At the age of nine years he was thrown upon his own resources and lived,
with a family named Mullendore until he was twenty-one years of age, during
which time he received the magnificent sum of one dollar for his services. He
was thoroughly instructed in farm work, and when he arrived at manhood he left
home and worked by the month until he was thirty-two years of age, during which
time he had saved up twelve hundred dollars, and now owns one hundred and
sixty-five acres of fine farm land. Politically, Mr. Green is a Republican.

   Joseph Green was united in marriage on September 5, 1877, with Laura Clark,
daughter of Samuel and Virginia (Johns) Clark. She was born on February 22,
1866, in the same house in which Joseph Green was born. Her education was
neglected, as she had but little opportunity to attend school. After their
marriage, Mr. Green rented a farm in Adams township, where they lived three and
one-half years and then bought thirty-six acres where he now lives, and as the
result of deserved prosperity was enabled to increase his acreage until he
became the owner of his present fine place, all of which he made without any
outside assistance. Mr. and Mrs. Green have four children, Roy, aged twenty-one
years; Mary, aged seventeen years; Russell, aged fourteen years, and Walter,
aged six years.

   Mr. Green is one of the quiet, unassuming and honorable citizens of Carroll
county.
