History of Old Vincennes And Knox County, Indiana Greene Volume l & 2 1911 Surnames in this biography are: Green, Markley, Curtis, DuKate PERRY DULANEY GREEN Perry Dulaney Green, editor of the Vincennes Capital, was born at the corner of Seventh and Main streets in the city of Vincennes on the 2d of August 1876, a son of John L. and Frances (Markley) Green. His father is also a native of this city and a son of William Green, Sr., who in the ninety-ninth year of his life is now enjoying good health. He came to Vincennes in 1831 and built and conducted the first theater in this city. John L. Green was at one time a member of the city council from the third ward and was once a candidate for treasurer of Knox County but was defeated. He engaged in the grain and milling business in Vincennes until July 1894, when he removed to Indianapolis where he still conducts a grain business. Perry Dulaney Green continued his education until he left Vincennes University at the close of his junior year to accompany his parents upon their removal to Indianapolis in 1894. At that time he turned his attention to business pursuits, accepting the position of packer in his father's corn mill. Later he became a clerk for the Western Union Telegraph Company in the main office at Indianapolis in 1895, at a salary of fifteen dollars per month. He remained with the company for five years, during which period he received five promotions. In July 1901, he secured sixty days leave of absence in order to try his hand at reporting for the Vincennes Capital, a daily newspaper published at Vincennes, Indiana. He found the work congenial and in March 1902, with Frank W. Curtis and John Ralph Du Kate, purchased the paper, which they have since published, conducting at the same time a successful job printing plant. Mr. Green has acted as editor of the paper since becoming one of its proprietors and his articles, clear, concise and to the point, displaying, too, a comprehensive knowledge of the subject under discussion, have been a marked feature of interest in the paper and a factor in its success. On the 28th October 1903, in Vincennes, Mr. Green was married to Miss Margaret M. Du Kate, a daughter of Dr. John B. and Mary M. Du Kate, the father a leading physician of Vincennes and a very prominent member of many fraternal orders. Mr. and Mrs. Green hold membership in the First Presbyterian church and he became the first secretary of the First Presbyterian Brotherhood Association. His military experience covers four years' service with Company A of the University Cadets, during which period he won the first government medal ever given in Vincennes University for accurate target practice. This company served in the One Hundred and Fifty-ninth Regiment during the Spanish-American war, which occurred after Mr. Green left school. Fraternally he is connected with the Royal Arcanum lodge of Vincennes. He was the organizer of the Lincoln League of Knox county in 1910 and is prominently connected with other organizations which are important features in the life of the city, being a director of the Vincennes Art Association, a member of the Vincennes Board of Trade, the Vincennes Merchants & Manufacturers Association and of the Pastime Club.

The town then consisted of five families, viz: WilliamHarrison, the proprietor of the village, who kept the ferry, and a littletavern and grocery at the foot of Main street; Dr. Jas.

His boyhood and early manhood were spent upon his father’sfarm in the famous Walnut Level region of  Wayne County. His father died when he was but seven yearsof age, after which he was taught the work of the farm and grew up under thecare of his mother, receiving the benefit of a common-school education.  About 1875 he and his mother traded theirWayne county farm to William Peed for a livery stable in New Castle and at once removed to this city. He ever afterward made that city his home and was actively engaged in various lines of business. On the 4th of July 1879, John Hipes was united in marriage with Mary J.(House) Gray, who survives him. Mr. Hipes was a kind, generous-heartedman.  No Person was ever turned awayfrom his door hungry, and he gave freely of his means to such benevolences charities and church interests as presented their claims to him and he had few, if any, enemies. He left a large circle of friends who will along pains nor expense in herefforts to restore him to health and took him to Traverse City in the hope that the change ofclimate might be helpful, but to no purpose. His end came peacefully and his last words were those of loveand affection to his wife and his many friends.  James Gray,the first husband of Mrs. John Hipes was a native of New Castle and was the sonof Phinander Gray, who in an early day came to this state from New Jersey. Heresided for eighteen years on the Eli Murphy farm, and finally passed away atAnderson this state, at an advanced age. James Gray was by trade a plasterer. He performed splendid service for his country during the war of the Rebellion. He originally enlistedfor the three months service, and at the expiration of that period enlisted in the Fremont Body Guard in Missouri for one rear, and at the expiration of that term of enlistment joined the Sixth Indiana Calvary, in which he held the rankof sergeant. Because of sickness he received his discharge at Louisville, Kentucky. While at home atthe close of his three months’ service, Mr. Gray was united in marriage withMary J. House, the daughter of John and Eliza (Prye) House. She was born at Piketon. Pike County, Ohio, and was brought to New Castle when but a babe.

He died at the home of his son, near New Lisbon, at the age of eighty-two years, his wife having previously passed away at the age of seventy-seven. He had as a child been brought to New Castle by Wesley Gooding, by whom he was reared. While yet a boy he had many times driven through to Cincinnati and had carried the mail on several routes. His early life was filled with all the hardships, which were necessary accompaniments of a pioneerl ife. He subsequently returned to Ohio, was there married and remained untilafter the birth of three of the children. James Gray died of consumption at the early age of thirty-eight years, leaving beside his widow one son, Frank, whowas at that time about thirteen years old, having been born August 6, 1863.
