Cyrus Green, of
Manilla, left today for Suwanee, Tenn., where he will attend the University of
the South during the year. Mr. Green entertained a few of his friends to a
six o'clock dinner at his home Friday evening. Those present were his
young friends Moris Drake, Burton Steinhauser, Ernest
Davis and Fred Sindlinger, all of this city. The
dinner was one of those elegant Indiana fried chicken dinners that is not
equaled anywhere else in the country. The only trouble was that the boys
were a little shy on appetite, but the funny thing was that Mr. Green did not
notice that for about an hour after the dinner began. The boys went over
in the Sindlinger car.September 13, 1924

Green Divorce Suit.
----------
Trial of the case in which Mrs. Rhoda G. Green is seeking a divorce and alimony from Thomas G. Green, a well-known practicing physician of this city, was started in circuit court early today before Judge Blair, with Isaac Carter as attorney for the plaintiff and Hord & Adams as counsel for the defendant. The trial attracted a big crowd because of the prominence of the parties and the sensational nature of the complaint. The residence witnesses were D. L. Wilson and W. I. Patterson. After they had been heard, Mrs. Green was placed on the stand. Her testimony was not finished until this afternoon. She stated they were married June 7, 1899, and that the separation took place August 27, 1915. Mrs. Green's main charges against the defendant are jealousy and cruel treatment. At the time of the marriage, which was solemnized at Indianapolis, they were residents of Rushville. They were married by the Rev. Mr. Tinsley and Mrs. Green testified that as soon as they left the minister's home her husband accused her of flirting with the minister. She then told of similar accusations that followed thru the years to the date of her separation and mentioned the names of a score of the most prominent men of Shelbyville with whom her husband, she said, had wrongfully and without any cause whatever accused her of intimacy, even to the oint of branding her as a woman of the street. She said he even searched for men he accused her of having hidden in the house, and she told of a number of assaults he had committed on her at times when he would make these accusations against her. She siad that at times he pinched her, slapped her, knocked her down, blacked her eye, choked her and mentioned one incident in which he fractured one of her ribs. She told of one time when she appealed to a boy in the office when she thought her husband was intending to choke her to death. Mrs. Green testified that at the time of their marriage her husband told her he had but fifty cents. She said she had 115 acres of land at the time of her marriage and then she told how her husband had coerced her into making trades and transfers until the property was put in their names jointly, with Dr. Green managing everything, and using the profits from the farms for his own advantage. It is largely because of this that she is making the heavy claim for alimony. She accused her husband of stinginess in regard to her support and siad he would not allow her to contribute anything to the church and objected to her going to the church and the chautauqua. She said he told her that no one went to the latter place but idle preachers and bad women.Thursday, March 2, 1916

Mr. Columbus Green,
who lives near Edinburg, is here on business. Since McKinley was elected
Mr. Green has gone into the sheep raising industry and only a few days ago
purchased one hundred more to place on his farm, these making his flock one of
the largest in Southern Indiana. Mr. Green is a Democrat but he realized
the fact that the protection given the sheep industry under the present
administration makes that business one of the most profitable a farmer can
engage in. Under the Gorman-Wilson bill the sheep raising industry reached
such a low ebb in this country that the wool was hardly worth the shearing and
sheep were so cheap they could hardly be given away. The Dingley bill has
changed all that and only a few days ago the Democrat said that sheep were sold
at auction at the Jacob Guile sale for six dollars
each. They didn't bring that kind of a price under the Gorman-Wilson
regime. Mr. Green knows a good thing when he sees it and he is going to
keep on buying sheep.Friday, October 7, 1898

Family Gatherings. ----------
Last Saturday was the sixtieth anniversary of the birth day of Mrs. Henry Green 5 [or 3 ?] miles south-east of town, and her children determined to have a family re-union on the occasion as a surprise. Early in the day Mrs. G. was sent for to visit a sick grand child, who wasn't sick much. As soon as she left the children took possession of the premises and prepared a sumptuous dinner. At the proper time the mother was taken home by a circuitous rout to give the mother and sick child an opportunity to be present on her arrival. She was welcomed home by her youngest son, who she thought attending teacher's institute, and by him introduced to the children and other relatives. When dinner was announced, "Uncle" Henry on turning his plate found a fine silver witch: Mrs. Green was the recipient of a nice dress pattern and fine ?amp. 'Twas a pleasant occasion.Thursday, February 7, 1878
