Greene, Alonzo Herkimer, Little Falls, was born in the town of Danube and 
received his education in the Little Falls Academy.  In 1862 he was appointed 
deputy county clerk, which position he held three years.  In 1866 he engaged 
in the general insurance business, and the same year was elected to the office 
of police justice, the duties of which he faithfully performed until 1874.  In 
1882 Mr. Greene was appointed postmaster under President Arthur, and held this 
position four years.  He has held various other positions of responsibility.  
As a member of the board of education, his perseverance and determination to 
place the schools upon the high plane they now occupy, had much to do with the 
erection of the magnificent school buildings that Little Falls people are 
proud of.  After a service of fifteen years, he retired from the board in 
1892.  His experience as a civil engineer has had very much to do with the 
progress of Little Falls.  He married Mary P., daughter of the late Hon. 
Nelson J. Beach.  Mr. Green is of Holland descent on his father's side, whose 
ancestors originally settled in Dutchess county, N.Y.  His mother was a grand-
niece of General Nicholas Herkimer of Revolutionary fame.
