        W. H. Greene is a native of Falmouth, Massachusetts, where he was born 
June 18, 1829. He left his native home in August, 1849, in the schooner Twin 
Brothers, bound for the gold fields of California, and, after sailing around 
Cape Horn, arrived in San Francisco March 2, 1850. The schooner was sold, and, 
in company with three of his companions, he went to the mines, where he remained 
for eighteen months, when he came to Santa Cruz County, which has been his home 
since. He spent fourteen years of his subsequent life driving stage in various 
parts of the State. He resides in Soquel and follows his trade of a mason.
