William was the son of Henry Mather Greene (1870–1954) and Emeline Augusta Greene nee Dart (1876–1935).
William grew up in Pasadena, California, the son of a celebrated architect. Henry Mather Greene, and his brother Charles Sumner Greene (1868-1957), were principals of the firm, Greene & Greene, which pioneered the California bungalow style. Encyclopedia Britannica says the Greene brothers' bungalow style "greatly influenced American domestic architecture." One of their most famous commissions was the Gamble House in Pasadena, constructed in 1908-09.
Henry attended college for five years, then married Harriot Martin Trapier (1908–1994) in Los Angeles County in 1937. The couple had no children we know of.
The 1940 federal census reported that William had lived in Riverside in 1935, but by 1940 he and Harriet had moved to Palo Alto where William worked as a private school instructor. Harriet was also employed as a restaurant attendant (despite her two years of college).
Cemetery and government records show that Henry died in Reseda at the age of 86, and that his cremains were interred at the San Gabriel Cemetery.
