I've not finished running him yet, but the serial bankrupt was Comptroller General for the State of Georgia, State Attorney pro. tem., postmaster at Savannah, Clerk in the U.S. House and died as Librarian for the U.S. House of Representatives. Merchant, map vendor, lecturer, investor: Eleazor had more pluck than brother Clementine Early.rdhardestyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07086771345621272408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8697913671320216364.post-19949265266197876972012-03-06T19:14:14.486-08:002012-03-06T19:14:14.486-08:00Hello Diane!

I had a lot of fun researching Eleazer Green, not only because of his odd name but because he served as Mayor of my hometown of Jamestown! I was lucky enough to receive a copy of his death certificate (courtesy of the fine people at the Lakeview Cemetery) and also found a portrait of him in an 1895 New York Redbook! Even here in Jamestown, Green is quite the obscure individual, and his gravestone (which I photographed above) bares no mention of service as Mayor or county attorney. Thanks again for your comment!Andy Osterdahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00435374277196946014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8697913671320216364.post-91838875916819642232012-03-06T18:24:16.016-08:002012-03-06T18:24:16.016-08:00This gentleman is a relative of mine!!!
