        THOMAS M. GREEN

        Was born in Milroy, this county, September 16, 1853. He is
        the son of Samuel and Elizabeth A. (McKee) Green, residents
        of Rushville. He was reared upon a farm in this county. At
        eighteen he entered the Indiana State University, where he
        attended two years, completing the sophomore year. He then
        entered upon the study of law in Indianapolis, in the
        office of John A. Holman; at the expiration of eighteen
        months, owing to the impaired state of his health, he
        returned to the farm in this county. There one summer was
        spent recruiting his health. In the fall following he
        became a member of the Rushville Bar and entered the office
        as a student of Sleeth & Study. At the end of two years his
        poor health compelled him to abandon the notion of
        practicing law and he turned his attention to the stove and
        tin ware trade, which he has followed ever since. In
        January 1880, he formed a partnership with M. C. Kitchen,
        which firm lasted four years, and during that time the firm
        also handled implements. June 5, 1879, he was married to
        Anna D. Foxworthy, a native of this county, born August 12,
        1855, daughter of James H. and Cynthia A. (Barrett)
        Foxworthy. Two sons have been born: Paul D., and Lowell,
        both living. Mr. Green belongs to the United Presbyterian
        Church, and in politics he is an ardent Republican. He was
        elected by his party in fall of 1886, to represent Rush
        County, in the lower branch of the State Legislature, which
        office he filled with credit during the memorable session
        of 1887.
