NOTE: William should be about 43-45, not 54.
The Tombstone at Camp Creek Baptist Church has 1817 as the birth year. I believe that this may be a mistake. He has a brother and several nephews buried here. The year of death appears to be correct and there is no wife buried near by. There are no other William R. Green's to be found in the county. There are no other William R. Greene's known to have lived in the area. Everything else points to this being the correct William R. Greene. BUT family tradition says that William went to SC to sell goods and died on that trip and was buried in SC. Need to keep looking to be sure.

- Occupation: Switchboard operator
Notes:
Never married. When the first switchboard was placed in the house that Henry Green built in 1779 on North Main Street in Boiling Springs, 1903, the house at that time was owned and occupied by his grandson REUBEN HAMRICK GREEN, Sr. His wife JUDITH GREEN GREEN was also a granddaughter of Henry Green. Their daughter HANNAH GREEN was the first switchboard operator, and she kept it as long as she was able.
Her nephew Bruno Hamrick operated it until they could get some one else. Her niece, Mrs. Addie Mae Green, widow of Plato Green with five small children, was the next operator of this switchboard. It was moved into her home on North Main Street a short distance from Miss Hannah's home. She was operator for thirteen years; then the switchboard closed in 1932.
Miss Hannah Green fell on Sunday morning while attending church services and suffered a broken hip. She had been confined to her bed for six years when she died January 25, 1927 at 71 years of age. Even though she suffered much, she was very patient and cheerful during her confinement.
Miss Hannah had a hard time during the Civil War; she ploughed an ox on Abe Hill which was very steep and rough. In fact, it is a small mountain. Abe Hill is on the west side of Sandy Run Creek between Boiling Springs and Mooresboro.
Miss Hannah's father Reuben H. Green, Sr., was a charter member of Boiling Springs Baptist Church and the oldest member at that time. He shoveled the first shovel of dirt for Boiling Springs Baptist High School. Esley Green, grandson of Reuben H. Green, Sr., shoveled the second shovel.
Connie Green the smallest child in school shoveled the first shovel when Boiling Springs Baptist High School became Gardner-Webb College.
