General Notes: Husband - Squire Joseph M. Green

---

At the age of seventeen years he began an apprenticeship at the machinist's trade. Later he was engaged in lumbering and merchandising in partnership with W. M. McMeen, a cousin, under the firm name of W. M. McMeen & Co. The firm later became Joseph Green & Son, and was so continued until in 1861. On the breaking out of the Civil war Mr. Green enlisted in Company A, 49th P. V. I., and was with the Army of the Potomac. While on the Peninsula campaign he was taken sick at Yorktown, Virginia, and owing to the nature of the disease he was compelled to retire from the service, and was honorably discharged. He returned to Milesburg, where he was disabled for a number of years as the result of his military service. Later he took charge of the gristmill at that point, and at periods from that time operated the same. For many years he served the people of Milesburg in various capacities, and was "Squire" Green for thirty years, as his service as a justice of the peace covered a third of a century. He filled all the borough offices-member of the council, of which he served as president, burgess, etc. He was a Thirty-second Degree Mason, being a member of Lodge at Bellefonte. Politically he was a Republican.
