General Notes: Husband - G. Dorsey Green

---

He attended the academy at Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, and subsequently entered college at Lawrenceville, New Jersey, from which institution he was graduated at the age of eighteen years. He afterward was in the employ of his father and Gen. Irvin, the latter's associate in business at Barre Iron Works, first as clerk, then as store-keeper, and later as manager. In 1856 he became proprietor of the works, and until 1874 was most extensively and successfully engaged in the manufacture of iron. From his works went out the blooms from which the wire was made that was used in the construction of the suspension bridge across the river at Niagara Falls; also the iron work in the bridge across the Allegheny river at Pittsburgh came from the Barre works. The works made money rapidly; but the proprietor was heavily caught in the failure of Jay Cooke, after which he sold the plant and retired to a beautiful farm of about 400 acres of land on Buffalo run, near Bellefonte, where he made his home and followed farming.
Mr. Green in his active business life, and in his earlier career, had opportunities not afforded to many young men. In 1860 it was his privilege to attend the National Republican Convention at Chicago, at which President Lincoln was nominated. His brother was a delegate to that convention, and he accompanied him. He was an aide on the staff of Gov. Packer, which entitled him to the rank of colonel, a title, however, he was too modest to assume. In politics he was a Republican. He was identified with the Presbyterian Church, and for years was superintendent of the Sabbath-school.
