The honorable son of Jonas and Eunice Bacon Greene. Greene was involved in a libel case in Maine in the 1860s. Greene published his reflections on the management of Maine Wesleyan Seminary by the Reverend H.P. Torsey and his personal character. Testimony indicates that one of his daughters had been a student there since March 1861. She was asked to leave in May 1866. Her remains were found in October of 1866. It seems she stole five dollars from a girls room and admitted to it when caught. Then she was found in possession of underwear not belonging to her and justified it by saying hers had been taken. She was dismissed by Torsey. Obviously distraught, she indicated to him that she could not face her parents with those circumstances, predicting she would be turned away. She lived twenty miles to the west and was provided no transportation. She indicated to a student that she intended to harm herself and went off to the south, away from home. No one tried to stop her. Auburn is to the south. She bought poison there and killed herself in the woods. Torsey says he had no indication she intended to do that. He thought she wanted to seclude herself, then go home. Greene published a pamphlet that charged the institution with prejudice, neglect, misconduct, and gross cruelty. The institution alleged insanity, which Judge Greene took exception to. Mrs. Greene wrote scathing letters to Reverend Torsey, calling him, "a murderer." Reverend Torsey testified she had "attempted an ineffectual suicide" while there. The testimony contains as much about female undergarments of the 1860s as any of that time. Statements were made by more than a dozen of her classmates, including her roommate and washer woman. Much was said concerning Miss Greene's character and activities. Jonas Greene had a monument erected in memory of his daughter at the place where she was found. It looks very much like the monument that marks him here.
