Biography* According to his grandson, William L. Wingate, Sr., Green was cutting trees to use to build the kitchen for the family home. He had completed the main house except for flooring it. As the cut tree fell, a limb hit another tree causing the cut tree to skid into Whiddon, pinning him to the ground killing him.... Neighbors came and worked the crop for the family.
