Notes for CHARLES NELSON GREEN - "CHARLES N. GREEN, one of the neatest, tidiest ,and, withal, most business-like and successful of Northern farmers who have settled in this township since the war,is Mr. Green, the subject of the present sketch. His farm is by no means a large one, containg only about 168 acres (in addition to which, his father, who resides with him, has 160 acres); yet the place is so well and throughly improved, so handsomely kept and so intelligently conducted, that by common consent Mr. Green is regarded as one of the model farmers of this part of the county. He is also engaged somewhat extensively in stock raising, and in this interest displays the same through-going qualities, managing his stock to the best advantage and making the most of the least expenditure of capital and labor. As a farmer and stock man he is one, the imitation of whose example by other agriculturalists of the county would redound to its benefit. He is a native of New York, and, as his name indicates, is of English extraction. Samuel Green, his ancestor of the fourth generation, came from England long prior to the Revolution, and settled in Rhode Island; and there the grandfather of Charles N., Samuel Green, Jr., was born August 15th 1764. He was married February 6th, 1794. His wife having been born December 23rd, 1772.

Soon after their marriage they removed to Herkimer County, New York, and there Martin Green, the father of Charles N. , was born in 1813. He, after reaching manhood was married in Jefferson County. of the same state, to Miss Hannah Jenks, of that county. She was born in 1812. Four children followed this union of whom but one is now living---- Charles N., the subject of the present sketch. He was born in Jefferson County, New York, near Watertown, in 1837. The father, Martin Green, was a carpenter and joiner by trade, and has followed these occupations, practically, all of his life. Charles N. was raised in his native state and continued to live there until 1855, when he came out to DeKalb County, Illinois, where he lived for thirteen years. While a resident of that county he was married to Miss Adelia Woodruff, originally of Jefferson County, New York, born in 1841, the sixth of a family of eight childrem of Felix and Pamelia (Bailey) Woodruff, both also natives of that county, the father born in 1802,and the mother in 1806. In 1868 Mr. Green removed to Missouri with his family, settling in Bee Branch Township of Chariton County, where he has since resided.

Here as formerly in Illinois, he has engaged in farming with the degree of success noted above. Mr. Green's parents also removed from New York to DeKalb County, Illinois, where they lived for many years. The mother, however, died there in August, 1878, and after her death the father came to live with his son in this county, where th former has since made his home. He is now past the alloted age of three-score and ten, but is still comparatively well preserved in mind and body.

Mr. and Mrs. Green have three children; Ella A., now the wife of J.F.Wilson, of this county; Hattie A., now the wife of A.C.Yocum, also of this county, and William M. Two besides are deceased; Effie M. and Earnest C. Mr. and Mrs. Green are highly respected members of the community in which they live."
