  J. FRANK GREEN is a Worthington township farmer who has lived in the county

thirty years, during all of which time he has been engaged in farming. He came

to the county in 1878 with his parents from Mishamokwa, Wis., at which place he

was born Nov. 1, 1857, and where he had lived up to the time of his advent to

Nobles county. He is a son of J. B. Green, who resides in Worthington. His

mother was Julia Ann (Letteer) Green, a native of New York state; she died in 1895.



  The early days of J. F. Green were spent on his father's farm in Wisconsin. On

the 22nd day of April, 1878, the family arrived in Nobles county and at once

took up its residence on the northeast quarter of section 8, Worthington

township, which Mr. Green, Sr., purchased, and which is now owned by the subject

of this sketch. Frank lived on the home place for a few years, and then spent

one year in Huron, S. D. Returning to Nobles county, he accepted a position on

the Roche farm in Jackson county, where he was employed for two years. He then

lived on the home farm for two years, which brings the story of his life up to

the time of his marriage. He was wedded to Miss Lizzie Kennefick at Michigan

City, Ind., Dec. 9. 1888. Mrs. Green was born in Ireland and came to this

country with her parents when a child less than one year old. Mr. and Mrs. Green

are the parents of two children, James Lee, born Oct. 9, 1889, and Julia, born

April 14, 1893.



  After his marriage Mr. Green rented a quarter section farm adjoining his

father's place and worked it one year. He then rented the Wilcox place on

section 4, Worthington, and lived there two years; two years more were spent on

the Bennie Prince farm on section 20, Worthington, and then he rented the home

farm, where he has lived since, buying the property from his father in  1899.



  Mr. Green has been school clerk of his district for the last eleven years, and

is now serving a term as township clerk, to which office he was elected in the

spring of 1906.
