Mr. and Mrs. Green came to Dayton from Licking county, Ohio, in 1829. Mrs. Green died in 1886 at the advanced age of 93 years, having been preceed[ed] by her husband some six years. Up to the last Grandma Green could delight the young members of her family with her accounts of the Black Hawk war and many thrilling incidents and personal experiences in her life as an early settler.

Yearly family reunions have been the custom for some time and have been continue[d] since the death of the old people. Many of their descendants have scattered, but Christmas cheer and the good things of the earth are bountifully dispensed at these family reunions. Those present at the reunion on Wednesday were Mrs. O. W. Trumbo and daughter and Messrs. Jesse and Isaac Green, sons of the deceased, with their children, grandchildren and a few other relatives, exceeding fifty in number. Three other daughters – Mrs. Albert Dunavan, Mrs. Wm. Dunavan, and Mrs. Geo. Dunavan – are living in the far West.
