     THOMAS G. GREENE, who is engaged in the practice of law, with offices in 
the Porter building, was born in Washington county, Indiana, on the 4th day of 
July, 1860, and is a son of Philo and Sarah (Gabbert) Greene, the former a 
farmer.  In 1866 the family moved to Illinois, where both parents died. Mr. 
Greene received a public school education and read law at Sullivan, Illinois, 
later attending the Union College of Law in Chicago. While in the latter city 
he was employed as a reporter on the Chicago Daily Times, also as a reporter 
for Bradstreets. Later he went to Helena, Montana, as manager for Bradstreets, 
and on June 1, 1888, came to Portland as manager for the same concern, filling 
that position for one and a half years. Next entering the University of 
Oregon, he was graduated, with the degree of Bachelor of Law in 1892, after 
which he was connected with the law office of Cox, Teal & Minor for awhile, 
and then engaged in the private practice of his profession, in which he has 
continued to the present time. He conducts a general practice, though 
specializing in commercial and banking law.

     On February 22, 1890, Mr. Greene was united in marriage to Miss Emma L. 
Hildebrand, of Portland, who graduated with the first class of the Portland 
high school and is now the oldest living graduate of that school. Mr. and Mrs. 
Greene are the parents of a son, Thomas G., Jr., and Dorothy, twins. The 
former graduated from the law school of Leland Stanford University in 1923, 
and the latter from the University of California in the same year and is now 
engaged in teaching. Mr. Greene is a democrat in his political views and has 
shown a proper interest in public affairs, having served as a member of the 
executive board under Mayor Harry Lane of Portland. He was a candidate for 
judge of the supreme court in 1900, but was defeated by Judge Charles E. 
Wolverton of Albany. He is a member of the University Club.
