At this stage of a career which has wellnigh spanned four score years, and into which has been crowded a world of usefullness and continued advancement towards better and more progressive things, Noah Green represents that fine type of pioneershiip whom all delight to know and honor. When he first came to Arizona in 1886 he possessed the inspiring sum of $7 upon which to found his prosperity and the present is a just reward for untiring attention to all the tasks set before him and the commercial integrity and high moral courage which characterized his every action. As a miner, farmer, stock-raiser,stage-line manager, mill owner, and all around promoter of the best interests of the community he is one of the prized and appreciated citizens of Solomonville.
As long ago as 1823, Mr Green was born in Linking County, Ohio and is a son of Hazel and Susanna M. Green who were born respectively in Virginia and Pennsylvania. His youth was passed amid the familiar surroundings to which he was accustomed, and his education was derived at the public schools. When nineteen years old he sought an independent existence upon a farm upon wich he lived until 1850. In the meantime he married, at Columbus, Ohio, November 9, 1846, Evelyn Coulter, a daughter of John Coulter of Marion County, Ohio and four years later on May 19, 1859 they left his native state and after a short sojourn in Indiana settled in Carroll County, Illinois. Here Mr. Green engaged in farming for thirty years with the exception of twelve years spent in buying and shipping stock and grain and lumber. He purchased lumber in the upper lake regions by the boatload and shipped to Thompson where he lived and in this town the greatest grief in his whole life visited him in the loss of his wife who wwas also his comrade and helpmate,and an inceasing joy and colsolation during all the years of their union. She is buried in York cemetery at Thompson as is also her mother. So dear is the memory of this cherished wife that her husband has never thought of supplanting her in his heart of home.
In 1880 Mr. Green came to Colorado, and for six years mined and prospected, and in 1886 removed to Arizona which has since been his home. For a time he here mined and prospected and later bought out the stage line between Carlisle and Duncan operating the same in a partnership with two other men. For three and a half years they carried the mails and passengers between the tow places and during all that time Mr. Green drove the stage himself. He then came to Solomonville and ran the stage line between here and Sheldon, then to Duncan and finally to Sheldon again, carrying the mail to those tow places about six and a half years and though still owning this line, his oppupation as far as the mails were concerned, terminated with the advent of the railroad through this section. Since June 1, 1899 he has been running the stage from Coronado to Solomonville. At the present one of his principal interests is what is known as Greeen's Corral, which is owned in part by a son Luther in partnership with whom the most of Mr. Green's undertakings are carried on. Jointly they also own one hundred acres adjoining the town, ninety-seven acres of this land is irrigated and is sufficient to raise feed for the stock owned by them.
An enterprise of recent date is a mill in whichjfather and son are greatly interested, and which is proving a great industry for the community. It represents a total investment of over $30,000. Mr. Green had charge of a company of men who constructed a ditch seven miles long for operations and it is believed that so complete are the details of construction and working capacity that it will draw a large amount of trade to Solomville and materially aid in the commercial advancement of the city. Equipped with the finest machinery, three or four grades of flour, it has no superior in the territory; grinds corn and rolls barley and employs three men in the mill. In many other ways also Mr. Green and his capable son have aided in the general development of the city and teir amicable and harmonious business association is a matter of comment among all who appreciate harmony in whatever light it is viewed.
In national politics Mr. Green is a Democrat and cast his first presidential vote for James K. Polk. He has been a Mason since 1855 having joined Lodge No 355 at Mount Carroll, Illinois and became a member of the Royal Arch Chapter also. The four children born to Mr and Mrs. Green are Susan who is now Mrs Charles Cochran of Carroll County Illinois; Moses who is a master painter by trade and located at Safford Arizona; Margaret who is the wife of George N. Melendy of Carroll County Illinois and Luther who is his father's partner in business and has a family of six sons.
Thomson is a village of about five hundred people situated in the southwest end of the county, on the C. B. & Q. Railroad.

The village was first started in the sixties. The Thomson House now owned by Uriah Pratt was built in 1863. Joseph Rose, Noah Green, Giles Hoover, the Spragues and a few others were among the first settlers. A doctor by the name of Richardson was the first doctor to settle there.
