son of Charles and Eliza A. (BROOKS) GREEN. Educated in the public schools 
of Canaan. Was engaged in the lumber business with his father until 1877, 
when he opened a meat and grocery store in Holbrook [Norfolk County], New

engaged in the lumber business until 1888, when he went into the general 
merchandising business. Since 1904 has been engaged in real estate.

An attendant of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Member of the order of 
Masons, Eastern Star, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Grange, and the 
Foresters. [Attending the Methodist Episcopal Church and belonging to the 
Foresters is not conflicting, since there were several Forester Orders, e. 
g., the Catholic Order of Foresters, the Independent Order of Foresters, 
Foresters of America, and others. Mr. GREEN was likely a member of the 
Independent Order of Foresters.] In 1908 he [Edwin Canaan GREEN] married
