Thomas M. Green was born at Carlisle, Cumberland Co., Penn., Oct. 6, 1842 and died Feb. 13, 1913, at his home near Garber, Okla., aged 70 years, 4 months and 6 days. On the 7th of July, 1862, he was married to Catherine M. Steward at Lancaster, Penn. To this union were born five children, Calvin and Curtis C. Green, and Mrs. O.F.
