    A sparse Green Family genealogy has very little information but seems to reflect some valid details about Woodrow and his wife.  The birth in Marietta, Oklahoma, seems to confirm that this is our Woodrow Green.  There is no marriage information here.

    The information on Lila led me to another site that had information on her parents.  These names match those she reported on her Social Security records.

    Lila Mae Lee Vinson
    Birth May 21, 1923 in Marietta, Love, Oklahoma
    Death Jan 4, 1993 in Hobart, Kiowa, Oklahoma
    Parents:
    Homer Lee Vinson, 1904 - 1976
    Mary Viola Good 1902 - 1993
    Spouse Woodrow Green 1916 - 1968
    --  Martinez, http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/41894230/person/19724550326

    The latter genealogy had very little information on Woodrow's parents, but did have his mother's name.  The maiden name here differed from that in my previous sources, reporting her as Lena Cunningham, with no further details, and no information on birth, death or parents.

    Note also that they propose alternative middle name Edward for Woodrow's father, for which I have seen no prior evidence, and for which they offer none.  The site does have posted the handwritten 1902 Chickasaw registration card, reporting his name as William E Green.

    A memorial on Find a Grave reports the dates of birth and death on his gravestone as only the year.
