Mary Rose Holt, the daughter of E.E. Holt and Elizabeth Tennison Holt, was born July 8, 1875. She was married to James Pinkney Green on June 7, 1898, at the First Methodist church at Roby, Texas. She and her husband joined the Roby Methodist church soon after they were married.
The family moved to Wheeler county in 1905 and has resided here since.
Mrs. Green was preceeded in death by two of her children, James Watne [sic] who died in 1916, and by Woodie E., who died in 1936.
