Tilmond Green(e), an African American Baptist minister. I am not related to this family; rather, I am a member of the Brazos County, Texas, historical commission and am working on writing a historical marker application for an African American orphanage which operated near Bryan (Brazos County) from 1906 to 1931. Rev. Green served as the head of the orphanage for several years, and was serving in that capacity when he died in October 1924. His obituary in the Bryan Eagle states that his funeral was held at Shiloh Baptist Church, but his body was returned to his former home at Weimar for burial. All the biographical data I have for this man is what little I could get from his obituary and from the 1920 census: 1920 Brazos Co., Texas, Census, ED 12, sheet 5b: Greene, Tilmond H. 52 , Ella 36 (?) his wife , James L. 27 his son , Jennie 14 his daughter While I can complete the marker application with just this data, I admit to being somewhat obsessive - compulsive <g>, and would like to say a little more about this man's career before he took over running the orphanage. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks, Bill Page Bryan, Texas
