Read More	Greene/Green S. Hogge/Hogg was the son of James Wesley Hogg and Maletha Hogg of Kentucky. Husband of Myrtle Ellen Garber - married November 22, 1897 in Falls City, Richardson Co., Nebraska. He had 7 children. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bio prepared by Phyllis Porter Zegers, 2011 Greene, was born in Letcher County, Kentucky, the home of a long-convoluted line of Hoggs, His parents, James Wesley Hogg, Jr. and Letha Hogg, were second cousins. His father's parents, James W. Hogg, Jr. and Dicy Frazier were first cousins once removed. Greene's parents were the first after 4 generations to leave the Kentucky/Virginia area. He moved to Nebraska (probably with his parents). At the age of 26 he married Myrtle Ellen Garber. Myrtle's parents Joseph Garber and Margaret Armstrong were born in Ohio. Myrtle had at least two siblings. Greene and Myrtle were married on 22 November 1897 in Falls City, Nebraska and had 7 children. In birth order they were Vergil, Helen, Jim, twins Zula, Zella, Jessmae, and Faye. It appears they moved frequently because the children were born in five different communities, but all in the southeastern corner of Nebraska. Greene was a farmer and carpenter. At one point Greene and his family farmed near Paulina, Iowa. Note: For a while Vergil spelled his last name with an e. His sister claims no one else in the family did that. Eventually Vergil also dropped the "e". Myrtle was a loving and kind mother. She had great strength of character according to her daughter, Zella. She was a long-time member of the Methodist Church and read the Bible all the way through many times. Myrtle was always busy and was not very social with friends or talkative with family. Greene on the other hand enjoyed socializing with others. According to his daughter, Zella, he was very loving and easy to talk to because he would listen. He was artistic and known to be good at drawing animals. He frequently read the Bible. In December 1911, Martha "Faye" was born with spinal meningitis. This is an infection causing a life threatening inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. She recovered from the meningitis but died of whooping cough in 1914 when the family was moving from one town to another. Her sister recalled that Faye died when she was just learning to walk. She would have been 2-3 years old at the time, which is very late for a child to be learning to walk so it is suspected that the spinal meningitis may have caused a motor impairment (cerebral palsy). There is no other indication that this is more than speculation. Their daughter Zella said Greene started having kidney problems when the barn caught fire in a lightning storm. He got the horses out of the barn and lied down to watch that the fire didn't spread to the other buildings. He fell asleep in the rain and caught a cold. It settled in his kidneys. He was in the sanatorium in Des Moines for many weeks. When he came home Myrtle took care of him. He was rarely out of bed and was sick for about a year. Greene died in 1921 (age 49) of Bright's disease (now called nephritis). The cause of death for Greene's father listed on his death certificate was "myocardeal degeneration" contributed to by "cardiovascular renal disease." Both Greene and his son Vergil died of Bright's disease. Bright's disease is a historical classification of kidney disease that would be described in modern medicine as acute or chronic nephritis. So they represent three generations terminal kidney issues. Myrtle sold vegetables from her garden to pay off her husband funeral. On the third anniversary of Greene's death, while away at Des Moines University, Myrtle and Greene's son Jim was killed in a train accident. Jim was driving a car and was hit by a Rock Island passenger train at a cross street. Another young man died the next day of injuries sustained and a young woman they were with was injured.
