WALTER WILLIAMSON GREEN (Lewis, Robert, Jane, Sarah, George), b.Newtown
11-4-1819; d.there, 9-22-1899; m.there, 12-14-1848, Hannah Caley, b.there 
2-28-1819; d.1607 Green St., Phila., 6-11-1898; dau.of Samuel Caley III 
and Ann Phillips, of Newtown, Del. Co.,Pa. Both buried at Friend's ground,
Newtown Meeting. He commenced business at Newtown Square, in a general 
store, including charge of post-office, for eight years; then purchased a 
farm in Marple Twp., and at the end of twenty years sold this and removed 
to Phila., which continued to be his home except in the summer seasons, 
which were devoted to keeping a temperance hotel at Cape May, N.J., for 
some twenty years. He then went into a similar business with his sons-in-
law, G Edward Knight and Daniel S White, at the Hotel Traymore, Atlantic 
City, but sold out his interest there to the latter in 1896. He devoted a 
year of earnest and successful effort in having the Newtown Square branch 
of the Penna. R.R. constructed, and was until his death a director of the 
road. His city residence was at 1607 Green St., and he owned a farm at 
Newtown Square, which he called Greenland; and it was while spending a 
part of the warm weather here that his death occurred. He was a broad 
minded man, with a keen insight of men and affairs, and very successful 
in business.
