D. C. GREEN.
    D. C. Green, vice president and general manager of the Fort Smith Light &
Traction Company, was born in Patriot, Indiana, in 1884. His youthful days were
spent in his native state and after completing his public school education he
attended Purdue University at Lafayette, Indiana, where he pursued a course in
electrical engineering, winning his E. E. degree in 1908. Since that time he has
engaged in public utility work in the states of California, Oregon, Washington
and Utah. His varied experience covering thirteen years has brought him wide
knowledge of every phase of the work and steadily he has advanced in positions
of responsibility until he is now the vice president and general manager of the
Fort Smith Light & Traction Company, which furnishes light and power for Fort
Smith. He has been in Arkansas for the past four years and during his connection
with the corporation at Fort Smith he has been active in introducing
improvements and thoroughly systematizing the business in every way, his labors
bringing about excellent results.

    In 1910 Mr. Green was united in marriage to Miss Frances Sexton, a daughter
of Dr. J. C. Sexton of Rushville, Indiana, and they have become parents of one
son, John Sexton.

    In public affairs Mr. Green takes an active interest and his aid is ever
given on the side of progress and improvement. He belongs to the Business Men's
Club, of which he is now the vice president and one of the directors—an
organization that is doing definite work for the improvement of business
conditions in Fort Smith, taking into consideration all the problems that in any
way effect the commercial or industrial life of the community. He likewise
belongs to the Noon Civics Club, which, as the name indicates, has for its
purpose the upholding and advancement of civic standards. He is likewise the
president of the Rotary Club, vice president and one of the directors of the
Country Club and is national council representative of the Fort Smith Boy
Scouts. During the World war he served on all the committees having to do with
the Red Cross and war fund drives and by reason of his marked energy, enterprise
and patriotism he has become a dynamic force in the community in which he lives,
being widely recognized as a leader of public thought and opinion.
