ALONZO PHILIP GREEN, of Attica, is one of the largest land owners of the state, his property possessions embracing large large amounts of farm land both in Indiana and in other localities. He was left an orphan in early life and has made his way through the world with a great deal of energy and enterprise, and his success is a matter of constant alertness to opportunity and a faculty of doing things himself and getting things done. Mr. Green is now engaged in the real estate and loan business at Attica under the name A. P. Green & Sons.

He was born at Myersville, Illinois, August 12, 1853, but represents a very early family in Fountain County, Indiana. His ancestry goes back to Sir Henry Green, a member of the nobility in England. Another ancestor was General Nathanael Greene, the great leader of Revolutionary Forces in the southern colonies in the War for Independence. Mr. Green and his sister Alice are both eligible to membership in the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution.

His parents were Conant C. and Chris

tine (Rudy) Green. His father was born at Terre Haute, Indiana, February 14, 1821, a date that indicates the early establishment of the Green family in the western part of the state. The parents of Conant C. Green were Ormsby and Rebecca (Prescott) Green, both of whom were natives of England. Conant C. Green was a saw mill man in early life and lived in several different localities. He is remembered as having built and operated the first ferry over the Wabash River at Attica. That was during the '40s, and his home was at Attica from 1830 to 1848. He then removed to Myersville, Illinois, where he was one of the early settlers and was a merchant and farmer. He died April 20, 1862. On September 27, 1851, Conant C. Green married Christine Rudy, who was born in Pennsylvania March 25, 1826, a daughter of Jacob Rudy, a native of Switzerland. She died January 12, 1874, at Bismarck, Illinois. She was the mother of five children, two sons and three daughters, two of whom, twins, died in infancy, and Thomas also died in infancy. Those to grow up were: Alonzo P. and Alice A., the latter being principal of the Attica schools.

Alonzo P. Green was only nine years old when his father died and a few years later he had to take up the business of life as a matter of serious responsibility and necessity. While attending public school he also clerked in the store of an uncle at Attica and did similar service at Bismarck, Illinois. In 1877 Mr. Green entered the grocery business on his own account, and for eighteen years was one of the successful merchants at Attica. The surplus of his business he invested in land, and it is the shrewdness and good management he has shown in handling such investments that have brought him the bulk of his fortune. In 1901 he bought an island in Alexander County, Illinois, comprising 1,136 acres. This he has done much to improve and develop, and it is now a highly productive farm. He also owns valuable farm lands in Indiana, Illinois and North Dakota. While interested in the welfare of his community, a stanch republican voter, Mr. Green has never sought any official honors. He is affiliated with the Knights of Pythias.
