Fred Frank Green
Their parents' deaths left Fred and Ella (still both teenagers) to raise the younger children, except for Amy. Amy suffered from Bright's Disease (an inflammatory disease of the kidneys) and died at around six or seven after being given to the local doctor to raise. She was musically gifted and played the piano. Supposedly, the doctor wanted to send her to Europe to study music, but she only lived for another year.
Fred and Ella eventually took the family to Kansas City, MO where Fred worked first in a roundhouse, and then 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 ran off with a young girl named Kate, who he supposedly stole out of a convent. Kate may have been blind at the time and was probably only about 13 while Fred was in his late twenties.
On 22 April 1889 Fred made the land run into Oklahoma with his gambling buddy Black Jack Adams. His homestead was in the northeast corner of section 6 of Woodland Township in Logan County, OK in what became the town of Crescent. According to his homestead application he had improved the land by erecting "2 frame houses, 1 room each; well, shed, stable, henhouse and grainary combined" and that he had "about 50 fruit trees, about 100 acres under post & wire fence, about 60 acres ploughed land". His application also states that he "established residence in a tent about 23rd April 1889, and that he built the houses April 1890.215
His brother Weston joined him there around May of 1890. Fred seems to have been a fairly wealthy man. He had oil leases all over Oklahoma. While in his seventies, he had two more children with his mistress Cleo Draper. (One of them was my father Al Green). Shortly before his death in 1945 oil was discovered on one of his farms, but he didn't live to enjoy it.212
