A Brief Career Sketch

Mr. Green passed away in San Francisco on January 19, 1943, after an illness of several weeks. He was a director and vice-president in charge of production of Union Lumber Company. Born in Aberdeen, Washington, October 25, 1901, he graduated from the Aberdeen High School in 1919. At school he was outstanding in athletics and all other activities.

He was employed by the Nemah Logging Co. of Raymond, Wash., where he was engaged in various activities in connection with their logging operations. In 1920 at the age of 19 he was employed by Union Lumber Co' and went to Fort Bragg to live. He worked in the woods on the South Fork of Ten-Mile River for about a year, then worked at the plant for a period of three years and was transferred to Mendocino, where after a short time he became assistant to R. D. Swales, general manager of The Mendocino Lumber Co.

When the Mendocino plant shut down late in 1931 Mr. Green returned to Fort Bragg, where he became superintendent of manufacture of Union Lumber Co., in charge of converting the logs, handling, refining and shipping the resultant products.

In 1932 he married Eleanor Broemmel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Broemmel of San Francisco. Their daughter, Patricia, is now nine years old.

Upon the death of Harold P. Plummer in April, 1935, Mr. Green was transferred to San Francisco to succeed Mr. Plummer as vice-president in charge of sales. He remained in this position until 1941, when he was transferred to Fort Bragg to succeed M. D. Gray, who had retired as general manager. He was given the titleof vice-president in charge of production. This position included the responsibility for all the company's interests in Mendocino County.

In the passing of Ed Green not only the Union Lumber Company but the entire lumber industry lost a friend, who by his exceptional spirit, his cooperative attitude and his loyalty, endeared himself to the hearts of all who knew him.
