The following is from an 1888 biography of Thomas:

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. \ldots 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.
