General Notes: Husband - Gen. Samuel Miles Green

---

He was a good type of the old school of gentlemen, with hearty and sincere manner. Carrying the weight of almost an additional span to the years of man's allotted life, he stood erect as a boy of twenty, and retained to a remarkable degree the manly strength and vigor of early life.
He studied law with Hon. John Blanchard, and was admitted to the bar. Shortly after he was appointed deputy attorney-general for Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, whence he removed to Meadville and remained five years. In 1834 he abandoned the practice of law and became the manager of the Centre Iron-Works, whence he removed to Barre Forge, in Huntingdon County, carrying on the iron-works there until 1875, when he sold out and returned to his native county, and died at his place on Buffalo Run. He was present in the court-room when Munks was tried, and one of the guards at the gallows.

While a resident of Huntingdon County he was commissioned a brigadier- general of militia by Gov. Porter. In politics he was originally a Whig, later a Republican.
