   Aaron T. Green, farmer, of Salem township, Sedgwick county, Kansas, was born
in Belmont county, Ohio, on April 5, 1847. His parents were John and Isabella
(Fuller) Green. Mr. Green left Ohio in 1865 and went to Illinois, and from there
to Iowa, but soon returned to Illinois. In these two states he worked until
1871, when, with another young man, he bought a team and drove overland from
Illinois to Wichita. In the fall of 1871, he preempted 160 acres of land in the
northwest quarter of Section 21, Salem township. He broke about five acres of
land and raised a crop of corn and hay, but a fire that was started on the
prairie burned his stable, hay and corn. Mr. Green then went to work for Mr.
Copeland, with whom he remained that winter, and in the spring he sold eighty
acres of his land and later sold the remaining eighty acres and bought eighty
acres in Section 25, which he farmed one year. That happened to be the
"grasshopper" year, and Mr. Green sold his eighty acres to Edgar W. Phillips and
returned to Ohio. He only remained in Ohio until spring, when he returned to
Kansas and has remained ever since. On February 5, 1885, Mr. Green was married
to Mrs. Nettie Culver Winslow, who was born in Pennsylvania. Mrs. Winslow was
the widow of Lewis Winslow, a soldier in the Civil War. By her marriage to Mr.
Winslow, she was the mother of five children, viz.: Charles, of Oklahoma City;
Leon, of Shawnee, Okla.; Mrs. Gilmore Price, of Alva, Okla.; Grace, at home, and
Albert, of Oklahoma. Mr. and Mrs. Green have no children. Since his marriage,
Mr. Green has lived on his present place in Section 23 and eighty acres in
Section 29. In politics he is a Republican.
