Levi Everett Green was born June 11, 1922 in Erie, Kansas to Everett Lee Green and Lana Wolfe Green and died July 24, 2009 at the Corning Nursing and Rehab Center in Corning, Iowa at the age of eighty-seven years.
Levi attended rural school at Erie, Kansas and high school in Galesburg, Kansas graduating with the Class of 1939. He then attended Parsons Junior College in Parsons, Kansas.
Levi married Elizabeth Josephine Tatro at St. Josephs Catholic Church in South Mound, Kansas on July 21, 1949. Mr. Green was a lifelong farmer. They farmed near Erie, Kansas until March 1956, when they purchased a farm northwest of Carbon, Iowa. In 1974, they purchased a farm northeast of Prescott, Iowa and farmed there until 1987. The couple sold the Prescott farm and moved to Corning. In 1995, they returned to the farm at Carbon. In January of 1999, they retired from farming and moved back to Corning.
