BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Eleanor Francis Green is the granddaughter of Eleanor Judson Ferris. Ferris was born in Connecticut and raised in Fort Worth where her father, Gideon L. Ferris (1853-1898), owned a drug store. She was married to Charles Hermon Francis who worked as a pressman for W. V. Smith and Company in Fort Worth.
