Leola Green

1898-1989

Born in Williamstown KY in 1898 to Zetta & William King whom also had her sister Martha. After John disappeared Zetta married John Porter and had a daughter Ida Jane.

Leola moved to Cincinnatti, OH to stay with relatives and later to Cleveland to find work where she met John L Green and married in 1922. Shortly thereafter they moved to Fitchburg, MA and finally to Scotia, NY accross the Mohawk River from Schenectady where John managed the S.S. Kresge store until his retirement in 1956.

They had two children, Marjorie & John Jr. (Jack) and later seven Grandchildren: David Kyea, Diane Kyea, Martha Kyea, Cheryl Kyea, Jeffrey Kyea, Vilko Green & John F Green.

Leola was a homemaker mostly, but was very proud of her service during WW II as an aircraft spotter. She was also a prolific crocheter, knitter, sewer, letter writer and craftmaker. But to most of us she was "Gram" and was the hub of the family wheel until her passing in 1989 at the age of 90.
