J. J. GREEN, an enterprising farmer of Clark County, and the son of a Wisconsin pioneer, lives on a farm on section 12, Lewis Township. He was born in Richland County, Wisconsin, near Janesville, July 11, 1846. His parent, H. H. and Abigail Green, were among the early settlers of that part of the State. None, perhaps, of the first settlers were better or more favorably known than was H. H. Green. At an early day he located near Janesville, where he engaged in the hotel business, and, among the travelers throughout Wisconsin, was known as a kind and accommodating landlord. He subsequently removed to La Crosse County and bought 160 acres of land, upon which he took up his abode, and where he died in 1878.

In 1858 the subject of our sketch mad a short visit to the State of California, returning in the same year to Wisconsin. November 7, 1870, he was untied in marriage with Margaret Allen. They have an interesting family of two children, who are being liberally educated. At this writing one of them is attending college at La Crosse. Since his marriage, Mr. Green has been engaged in farming and in the lumber business. He also, for a short time, kept a livery stable in Minnesota. In 1882, he came to Clark County and settled in Neillsville, where he worked in a sawmill. His attention is now given to agricultural pursuits, and he resides on his farm of 160 acres, forty of which are improved.
