George W. Greene

Quill platform ID: p15440.

(July 4, 1831 — July 21, 1895) George Woodward Greene was a teacher, judge, lawyer, and politician. Greene was born in Mount Hope, New York in 1831. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and was admitted to the bar in 1860. Greene taught school and acted as school commissioner for Orange County. From 1861 to 1864, he served as a judge of the county courts. Greene presented his credentials to the Forty-First Congress and served for a little under a year before Charles Van Wyck successfully contested his election. He served as a Democrat in the House from March 4, 1869 to February 17, 1870. After his brief time in Congress, Greene was elected to the New York State Assembly and served in that capacity from 1885 to 1888.
