G. P. Green is a son of Lewis and Nancy (Lewis) Green. He was born in Erie county, Ohio, December 23, 1837. He remained in the county of his birth until twenty-five years of age, and then moved to Huron county, Ohio, where he lived one year. From Huron, he moved to Loraine county, where he remained two years, and from there to Wood county, where he made a stay of four years. During these years he was engaged in buying and selling horses. In 1869 he came to Butler county, Iowa, and, soon after, embarked in stock trade, in which business he has since engaged. He was married, in 1860, to Miss Julia Cain, who is a native of Ohio. Mr. Green began life with nothing, and, by perseverence (sic), good management and strict attention to business, has accumulated a large property.
