This book has no cover, and no index, and no author. I bought it on Ebay; it
just has the insides, but it is full of Indiana biographies. I am not
researching this family, just thought I would share. I do not know anymore about these
families or these surnames. NOTE: I don’t know if there is any additional
mention of this family in the book, it has no index. I do not want to sell this
book. I am typing the biographies from it.

LOYS W. GREEN is a lawyer, practicing at Newcastle, and his professional work
so far gives promise of a very successful career as a member of the Indiana
bar. Mr. Green had in mind the law as his vocation a number of years ago, but
various circumstances, including the necessity of earning his own living,
deferred his formal preparation, but it had one advantage in that he began his
practice as a lawyer with the background of a successful business experience. Mr.
Green was born in Tipton County, Indiana, January 6, 1897. His
great-grandfather, John Green, was one of the pioneer lawyers of the state and a man of
much
political prominence. He was born in Virginia, in 1807, came to Indiana when
young and was one of the early graduates of Hanover College. He removed to
Tipton County in 1847 and was judge of the Common Pleas Court in 1860-69 and later
served a term as state senator. He died in 1885. Lays W. Green is a son of
Benjamin Butler and Mary 0. (Lamm) Green, his mother still living in Tipton
County, where both parents were born. His father, who was a farmer and salesman,
died July 12, 1924. Loys W. Green graduated from high school in 1915 and
immediately became a wage earner as a glass worker in a plant at Elwood. He left
that employment to join the colors, enlisting in June 1918, in the United States
Navy, in the radio service. He was at Camp Perry and at the Great Lakes Naval
Training Station near Chicago and five different times was scheduled to go to
France but through confusion and mistakes in the clerical department regarding
his name he never got overseas. As master-of-arms he helped train over 1,000
young men at Camp Perry. He was released from active duty in March 1919, and
received his honorable discharge in September 1921. During the year 1919-20,
after leaving the service, he was a student in Indiana University and from 1920
to the spring of 1923 worked at his old job in the glass factory at Elwood. In
March 1923, he became a traveling salesman for a house at Brocton,
Massachusetts, and in 1925 became a representative for the Regina Electric Corporation
of Rahway, New Jersey. In May 1925, this company located him at Bloomington,
Indiana. Upon leaving Bloomington, in 1926, he resumed his studies and in June
1929, graduated from the law department of The University of Indianapolis, at
Indianapolis, and has since been in practice in Newcastle. Mr. Green is a
Republican, a member of Sigma Delta Kappa, legal fraternity, a member of the
Masonic fraternity, is a trustee of the Methodist Episcopal Church and belongs to
the Henry County Bar Association. He married, September 17, 1924, Miss Jessie O.
Currey, who was also born in Tipton County, Indiana, daughter of Jonathan and
Florence (Calvin) Currey. Her father was born in Franklin County and her
mother in Switzerland County, Indiana. Mrs. Green graduated from high school in
1914, and the following year was a student in Indiana University, and while
teaching continued her work in the university during the summer sessions. For
eight years before her marriage she was engaged in teaching, working in country
schools near Anderson for four years, was a Latin teacher in the Wilkinson High
School from 1920 to 1924 and, returning to Indiana University in 1925,
graduated in 1926, receiving the A. B. degree. In the fall of 1926 she resumed her
teaching work as instructor in Latin and history at Kennard in Henry County, and
still holds that position.
