An Illustrated History of the State of Washington, by Rev. H.K. Hines, D.D., The Lewis Publishing Co., Chicago, IL., 1893, pages 441-442 E.M. GREEN, one of the leading lawyers of Vancouver, was born in Delaware Company, Indiana, February 10, 1863, a son of Amos H. and Sarah (Spurgeon) Green, the former a native of Pennsylvania, and the latter of Ohio. The parents located in the State of Iowa as early as 1845. E.M. Green, the second in a family of seven children, was reared and educated in Linn county, and his early life was devoted to farming and merchandising. His legal education was received in the law department of the State University of Iowa City, where he graduated in 1888, and in the same year came to Vancouver, Washington. After locating in this city, Mr. Green taught school during the winter, and the following spring opened an office, since which time he has enjoyed a large and lucrative practice. He has no other interest outside of his professional duties, and consequently is a law student in the full sense of the term. Politically, he is an active worker in the People's party, and socially is Recording Secretary of the O.U.A.M. In May, 1891, Mr. Green was united in marriage with Miss Eva J. Vanslyke, a native of Illinois. Submitted to the WA. Bios Project in October 2003 by Jeffrey L. Elmer * * * * Notice: These biographies were transcribed for the Washington Biographies Project.
