Green, Newton H., was born in Byron, N.Y., September 16, 1828, a son of Andrew
H. and Lavinia (Goold) Green. His father was a land surveyor, who came to Genesee county and settled in the town
of Bergen in 1809. He was a man prominent in town affairs, was supervisor of the town for years and member of assembly
in 1839 and 1840; he died in 1875. Newton H. Green was educated in the common schools and Brockport Academy, and
taught school for several terms. In 1855 he married Sylvina M., daughter of George Dewey; their children are Hattie
L. Bowen, Carrie L. White, Charles N. Green and Emogene D. Walker. Mr. Green is a grain, stock and fruit farmer;
his farm of about 400 acres is one of the choicest in Genesee county. He was town superintendent of schools two
terms, assessor two terms, supervisor five years and a member of assembly in 1875 and 1876. Mr. Green is a man
of unusual intelligence, and few men in Genesee county have ever enjoyed in a larger degree the confidence of the
people. He is tall, of dignified and commanding presence. His older brother, Loren Green, also represented the
county in the Assembly for two years. Since the above sketch was prepared Mr. Green has died. A good man and an
honored citizen has gone to his reward. His death occurred April 15, 1899.
