Green, Thomas A.  This efficient and popular superintendent of schools of
Lincoln parish, was born Aug. 27, 1883, at Dubach, La., a son of W. W. and
Martha (Norris) Green.  The family were originally from South Carolina, moved
to Alabama in the antebellum days, and later to Lincoln parish.  His father,
although retired from business, is still living with his devoted wife on their
plantation at Dubach.  The subject of this review, after availing himself of
the advantages afforded by the common schools of his locality, entered the
State Normal at Natchitoches, and later attended the summer school of the
University of Chicago.  After completing his college course, Mr. Green
returned to his native state, where he taught school in Lincoln parish until
Jan. 5, 1909, when he was elected superintendent of schools, which office he
has filled most satisfactorily ever since.  Mr. Green is a Mason, of Dubach
lodge 273, Knights of Pythias, and a member of the Baptist church, at Ruston,
La.  June 12, 1912, he was united in wedlock to Maude, a daughter of Z. T. and
Elizabeth (Covington) Goyne.  The family were originally from Alabama.  Mr.
and Mrs. Green have 1 child Martha Elizabeth, who resides at the parental
home.
