JONAH M. GREEN, miller at Fredricksburg, was born in Orange County, Ind.,
October 24, 1834, being the third in a family of five children born to
Thomas and Anna (Matthew) Green, who were natives of Virginia and Kentucky
respectively, he was raised to the milling business, and after his father's
death assumed entire charge of the mill, which, in 1880, he had moved to
Fredricksburg where it now enjoys an extended patronage.  Receiving but
limited educational advantages in youth he selected for his life's helpmate
Mary Hall, who died a few years after marriage, leaving one daughter --
Catharine A., since deceased.  Realizing that it was not best for man to be
alone, he married Mary M. Roberts, for his second wife, and six children
blessed their union, the following named yet living:  Rosetta A., William
T., Henry F., Emma E. and Bertie M.  Mr. Green served his country faithfully
in the late war, enlisting August 8, 1862, in Company B, Sixty-sixth Indiana
Volunteer Infantry, serving at the battle of Richmond, Ky., the entire siege
of Atlanta, the memorable march to the sea with Sherman, thence up through
the Carolinas, and finally to Washington, D. C., where he was honorably
discharged in 1865.  He is a Republican in politics and a member of the F. &
A. M. and G. A. R. fraternities.  In addition to carrying on the manufacture
of flour Mr. Green also operates a saw and planing-mill.
