Notes:

George Washington Green

Builders of Lake City

George Washington Green, who has been a familiar figure about the lumber camps and woods’ mills for more than half a century, has had a varied career. He laughed as he told of his early schooling, which was scattered over a period of twelve years and totaled about fifteen weeks.

He was born in Baker County and as a barefoot lad of 12 met the celebrated Eppinger Russell coming to Olustee from Savannah to found a great lumber mill. Mr. Russell wanted to see Palestine Lake and hired the little Green boy as his guide, for which service Mr. Russell gave the lad eleven cents, a dime and a penny. It was the first dime Mr. Green had ever seen; he knew the value of a penny and had secretly wished the lumber man had give him two pennies, but later when his older brother read the inscription on the coin and told him it was worth ten pennies, the boy looked upon the hoard as riches beyond the dream of avarice!

Mr. Green’s father was Anson Ruben Green, one of the seven boys, sons of a Baptist preacher. The family is of English extraction and can trace the lines back eight generations to the famous Nathaniel Green, patriot and hero. His mother was Anna Williams Green. The Greens and the Williamses migrated from Charlestown , S. C. to Columbia County in 1844 and here Mr. Green’s parents were married in 1850. The senior Mr. Green died here Nov. 20, 1885 ; his wife had passed away in 1871, when the child was but three years old.

Mr. Green’s father was a mill man and the family was living in Baker County when he was born on Jan. 25, 1864 , but they resumed their residence in this community in 1875 and this city has been the Green hometown since that time.

Mr. Green marvels at the facilities for obtaining an education in these days. He recalls the scarcity of schools in his youth. He was fourteen years old before he had ever seen a school house and was fifteen before he ever entered one. His first teacher was the late father of Mayor M. L. Plympton, at the Falling Creek school. He put in five weeks at that school. The family then moved over on Double Run and there he attended school to Mayor Plympton himself; that was in 1887. In 1891 he was employed up about Genoa and had his third opportunity to attend school. The schools those days only operated two to four months each year and the buildings were dark clapboards of mere long buildings, sometimes without either windows or doors, only the openings. He was quite a big boy before he ever saw a glass window.

Mr. Green recalls that his first job was on the farm of W. W. Herrin, who died recently in the Lake Shore Hospital in this city. His father hired him out under a year’s contract for his board and $75 per year. During the twelve months Mr. Green withdrew $9.45 from his salary for clothes and at the end of the year Mr. Herrin gave the senior Mr. Green $65.55 for the boy’s services.

Mr. Green tried railroading for a short time when he engaged as fireman on the Seaboard. He recalls bringing the iron from the boats at Fernandina to Lake City when the Georgia Southern was built through this community. He has done carpenter work and contracting and in 1907 served as justice of the peace in the Third District. He laughed when he stated that he never had a single case to come up in his court, because he always managed to get the contestants to settle without litigations. During his term of office his fees amounted to exactly fifty cents and that amount was paid to him for affixing his deal to an instrument.

The subject of our lines was married Dec. 31, 1894 when Elizabeth Thomas, sister of N. H. Thomas, the mill man, became his wife. They are the parents of eleven children, six of whom are living.

The living children are Nettie, wife of Tom L. Avery, of this city; Gladys Viola, a nurse in the Alachua County Hospital at Gainesville; Ruben of this city, an employ of the State Road Department; John, of Starke, and Ernest, who lives at home and is a member of the Florida National Guards, now at Camp Foster.

Of the children only Nettie has offspring. Mr. and Mrs. Averyhave five children and these are Mr. Green’s grandchildren. Mr. Green has one living brother, the well known Jack Green of Gainesville and one living sister, Elizabeth, widow of the late Louis Griffin of White Springs.

Mr. Green has been a life-long member of the Advent Christian Church and joined the Masons as a young man. Mr. and Mrs. Green reside in Melrose Park , where they have a pretty little home overlooking Featherwood Gorge, a tributary to Alligator Lake and once a great Indian camp.

Note: George W. Greene died June 8, 1942 and was buried in the Bethel Methodist Church Cemetery . Elizabeth T. Greene was born Nov. 15, 1875 , died Aug. 20, 1947, and was buried beside her husband.
