GREEN, Jerome Joseph, electrician, was born near Somerset, Ohio, Dec. 26, 1865; son of Joshua and Emily (Flowers) Green; grandson of Joshua and Sarah (Hughes) Green, and of Matthias and Mary (Elder) Flowers; and a descendant of Captain Joshua Green of the Kent County, Md., militia in war of 1812, who came to America from England in 1800. He studied and taught in the district schools, and learned the carpenter's trade. He was graduated from the Ohio State university, M.E. in 1893, and during the college vacations designed cash registers and worked in photograph galleries. He was employed as a tester of the electrical apparatus for the bureau of awards at the World's Columbian exposition in 1893. He was engaged at the installation of the electrical apparatus at the Atlanta exposition in 1895, and was connected with the Chicago Edison company and the National school of electricity in Chicago until 1895. He accepted the chair of physics and electrical engineering at Notre Dame university, Indiana, in 1895. He conducted a series of experiments in wireless telegraphy at Notre Dame university, 1899, with apparatus made up in the laboratories and shops of the university, first from one room to another, then increasing the distance till signals were distinctly received three miles away, —the [p.391] apparatus used in the last trial being an improvement on the first. He made another series of tests in the business district of Chicago and on Lake Michigan, where a message was sent out a mile and a half. Deloris Williams
