Daniel M. Green, farmer, Troy, Ark. The farm which Mr. Green now owns and cultivates in Cleveland Township is an excellent one, over 160 acres in extent, and is so arranged as to be admirably adapted to farming and stockraising. Mr. Green owes his nativity to Georgia, his birth occurring in 1831, and is the ninth of ten children born to his parents. He was reared in Ouachita County, Ark., from fourteen years of age, and was married in 1868 to Miss Massaline A. Bell, a native of Georgia, born in 1843, and the daughter of James W. and Lucinda Bell, the latter now living in Camden. The marriage of our subject was blessed by the birth of four interesting children—three sons and one daughter—who are named as follows: Nannie B. (wife of C. D. Milner), Augustus O., Edward W. and Rufus L. Mr. Green has resided in Columbia County since 1859, and has 160 acres of excellent land, with seventy-five under cultivation. This farm is fifteen miles northeast of the county seat, and his substantial and commodious house, barns, outbuildings, etc., are neat and convenient and all that could be desired. Mr. Green is energetic and thoroughgoing, and substantial results have been reaped. He has been postmaster of Troy since that office was established, in November, 1887, and is filling that position in a capable and efficient manner. In his political principles he is a Democrat, and socially he is a member of the Wheel. Mrs. Green is a member of the Methodist Protestant Church.
