Notes for Frederick Frank Green
Fred was a "Sooner", one of the people involved in the Oklahoma land rush of 1889.210After the death of their parents around 1880 Fred and his older sister Ella raised the younger ones as best they could. They took the family to Kansas City where Fred worked first in a railroad roundhouse. He next ran a restaurant in the red light district. He was said to have been something of a gambler and a "wild 'un".

He deserted his first wife and children, and married a young girl named Kate. He then made the land run into Oklahoma in 1889. He homesteaded in Logan County, OK210 in what became the town of Crescent. His homestead application210 was for Lots 1 and 2 and the south half of the northeast quarter of Section 6 of Woodland Township (T17N, R3W)234.

According to his daughter he owned mineral rights all over Oklahoma and was a fairly wealthy man. While in his seventies, he had two more children with his mistress Cleo Draper. Shortly before his death in 1945 oil was discovered on his land, but he didn't live to enjoy it.205
