    Harry Green lived at Canyon, Texas.  I learned the name of his wife Dorothea from the Green-Lovin-Brewer genealogy.  Hugh Green informed me, through email from Rachel Ruthart, that Dorothea went to court at some point to have her name legally changed from Dorothea to Dorthea.

    Harry and Dorthea had four children.  Loretta Gregory Gay says he had a son named Richard.  In October 2010, I received a photo of their gravestone giving years of birth and death for Harry and Dorothea.  There are three children reported in the household in the 1940 census.  This would mean that the one named Richard known by the Green-Gregory family in Oklahoma was the youngest child, born some  time after the 1940 census.  As of October 2010, Doyle had died but three others were still living.  Hubert later went by Hugh.

    The SSDI reports Harry's last stated residence was Canyon, Randall County, Texas.  The Green-Lovin-Brewer genealogy, while including this report from the SSDI, however, reports that he died in Amarillo, Potter County.  His death certificate which I did not see until October 2010 tells us he died in a hospital in Amarillo, as I had earlier surmised. After his death his wife Dorthea marreid Harry's widowed brother Glen Woodrow, whose wife had died in 1983 in Umpire, Arkansas.

    The SSDI records only the month and year of Harry's death.  The Texas Death Index records the full date of 17 July 1987 and reports Potter County as the county of death.  His death certificate was provided to me by Rachel Ruthart in October 2010.
