The E-Sylum: Volume 3, Number 54, December 31, 2000, Article 10COL. E. H. R. GREEN PHOTO FOUND ONLINENBS member W. David Perkins writes: "I came across this website today with a photo of Col. E.H.R. Green. I have been researching Col. Green for around 10 years (as he owned a large number of early United States silver dollars 1794-1803). I don't recall seeing a photo of him before. I'll have to check my copy of "The Day they Shook the Plum Tree" which is at home - it may have a photo, too." [Notes: The web page describes a railway car owned by the Terrell Heritage Society of Terrell, Texas. The page states: "Col. E. H. R. Green was the son of Hetty Green, who was known to be the richest woman in the world at the time of her death. He was active in politics in Texas and maintained his voting residence in Texas by leaving a suit of clothes and one of his wooden legs in a rented room in one of fine residences of Terrell. Col. Green also maintained the main offices of the Texas Midland Railway, in Terrell. [The] photo (exact date unknown) shows Col. E.H.R. Green, President; W.P. Allen, Vice-president; and L.W. Wells, General manager, Texas Midland Railroad. Note the comical gesture made by Col. Green above Mr. Allen's head." Below are a few web sites with more information on Hetty Green: http://www.mafh.org/fh/1996/55-1.html http://www.virtualvermont.com/history/hgreen.html http://www.rixsan.com/nbvisit/attract/hettymus.htm -Editor] Wayne Homren, EditorContent presented in The E-Sylum is not necessarily researched or independently fact-checked, and views expressed do not necessarily represent those of the Numismatic Bibliomania Society.
