Soon after, on October II of the same year, he was appointed apothecary at the Mass- achusetts General Hospital, which was then just opened for patients. He spent one year at the hospital, where he also performed the duties of house physician and house surgeon. In March, 1823, he settled for practice in Sun- derland, Mass., where he stayed until the spring of 1825. Then he removed to Groton, ·of which town he remained a resident for the rest of his life. On January 5, 1824, while he was in Sunderland, he m. Elizabeth Law- rence, b. March 13, 1796, a daughter of Sam- uel and Susanna (Parker) Lawrence, of Groton.

He represented Groton in the State Legislature in 1836 and 1837; and he was a trustee of the Lawrence Academy at Groton from 1831 to 1867, serv- ing in the capacity of either secretary or treas- urer of the corporation for the greater part of the time. Having manifested a taste for anti- quarian and genealogical research, he was chosen a corresponding member of the New
England Historic Genealogical Society on August 13, 1849. In 1868, on his birthday, he was afflicted by a stroke of paralysis, from which he never fully recovered. After the death of his wife on August 20, 1874, he made his home with his only daughter at Morris- town, N. J., where he d. June 5, 1875.

By her second mar- riage, which took place on September 8, 1862, she became the wife of Dr. Charles Young Swan, who was b. at Belfast, Ireland, June 25, 1833, son of William and Mary (Lyttle) Swan, and whose grandfather, Edward Swan, was an officer in the British navy during the Revolutionary War. Dr. Swan's death oc- curred at Morristown, N. J., on October 7, I 900.
After fitting for college at the Lawrence Academy, Groton, Samuel A. Green matricu- lated at Harvard, and in due course was gradu- ated in 1851. On leaving Harvard he engaged in the study of medicine under the preceptor- ship of Dr. J. Mason Warren, of Boston, at- tended Jefferson Medical College in Philadel- phia during the session 1851-52, and obtained admission to the Harvard Medical School, where he attended two courses of lectures and
438
NEW ENGLAND LIBRARY OF
graduated in 1854. With the degree of Doc- tor of Medicine, Harvard University also con- ferred on him in this year the degree of Master of Arts. Having further pursued his medical studies in Paris for another year, he entered upon the practice of his profession in Boston. Dr. Green was commissioned surgeon of the Second Massachusetts Regiment of Militia on May 19, 1858, by Governor Banks. On May 25, 1861, shortly after the breaking out of the Civil War, he became assistant surgeon of the First Massachusetts Regiment and on September 2, 1861, he was promoted to the post of surgeon of the Twenty-fourth Massa- chusetts. In General Burnside's expedition to North Carolina he had charge of the hospital ship, "Recruit." During the siege of Fort Wagner he was the chief medical officer at Morris Island. In 1864 he was brevetted Lieutenant-colonel for "gallant and distin- guished services in the field." From 1865 to 1872 Dr. Green was the superintendent of the Boston Dispensary, from 1871 to 1882 he was the City Physician of Boston, and he was the Mayor of Boston in 1882. He is now serving his thirty-fourth year as the librarian of the Massachusetts Historical Society, of which he has been a member since January, 1860, a longer period than that of any other now liv- ing. He was a member of the Boston School Committee from 1860 to 1862, and from 1866 to 1872; a trustee of the Boston Public Li- brary from 1868 to 1878, serving as the libra- rian for the year beginning with October, 1877; a member of the State Board of Health, Lunacy, and Charity for the year 1885-86; an overseer of Harvard University for the years 1869-80, and for 1882-1900; and he has also been a trustee of the Peabody Education Fund since 1883, serving the board as its secretary and for three years as its general agent. In 1870 he was appointed on a commission to care for disabled soldiers ; eight years later he was put upon the Congressional Board of Ex- perts commissioned to investigate the causes and prevention of yellow fever, and six years after he was one of the commissioners assigned to the investigation of the condition of the records of the Commonwealth in the Secretary of State's office. The doctor is a member of
the Boston Society for Medical Improvement, of the Boston Society for Medical Observation, of the Massachusetts Medical Society, and of the American Philosophical Society of Phila- delphia; and he is a vice-president of the Mas- sachusetts Historical Society. He has never married. Since 1855 he has been a resident of Boston.
Judging him by the number and character of the books he has published, Dr. Green must be a man of untiring industry. Having taken a strong interest in his native town from an early age, several of his works treat of Groton and its people, the latest, issued in 1901, being "Three Military Diaries," the said diaries having been kept by Groton soldiers in different wars. The other publications in- clude : "My Campaigns in America," trans- lated from the French, being a journal kept by Count William de Deux-Ponts in the years 1780-81; "The Story of a Famous Book," which is an account of Benjamin Franklin's autobiography; "School Histories and Some Errors in Them "; and "The History of Medi- cine in Massachusetts."

Boston, and a resident of Malden, was born in Brooklyn, N. Y., June 17, 1861, son of James and Marie Bourbon (Scott) Arnold. He is descended from distinguished ancestry on both sides - paternally from William Arnold, who settled in Providence with Roger Will- iams; and maternally from the French royal house of Bourbon, being, therefore, a descend- ant of Adhémar of Bourbonnais, the recog- nized founder of that celebrated family, who flourished at about the beginning of the tenth century. Mr. Arnold's maternal great-grand- mother is said to have been in her youth an intimate personal friend of Maria Letitia Bonaparte, mother of the great Napoleon.
