Confederate Military History

Confederate Veteran Magazine

Biography: William Henry Green, of Wilmington, now a successful business man, is a survivor of the famous Latham battery, a North Carolina artillery organization which demonstrated its efficiency and bravery on many noted fields during the four years' war. He was born at New Bern in 1843, and entered the service as a private in the Branch artillery, Capt. A. C. Latham, in July, 1862.

In the following year he was detailed as sergeant-major of the battalion of Maj. J. C. Haskell, to which Latham's battery was attacked, and he served in this capacity during the remainder of the war. He had an active career as an artilleryman, participating in the famous Virginia battles of Cedar Run, Second Manassas, Chantilly, Warrenton Springs, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, where the battery was in action three days, Spottsylvania, Second Cold Harbor, and throughout the siege of Petersburg and the retreat to Appomattox, where he was paroled.

After his return to North Carolina he made a beginning in the profession of pharmacy at New Bern, and continued his studies and practice at New York city, where he was graduated in 1869. In 1870 he embarked in business at Wilmington as proprietor of a drugstore, which he has since conducted with much success.

In 1880 he was president of the North Carolina board of pharmacy, and from 1880 to 1884 was president of the State pharmaceutical association. He was married in 1875 to Frances Iredell, daughter of Thomas D. Meares, of Wilmington, and they have five children living: Fanny M., Thomas M., Charles F., Jane I., and Mary 0. Green.

A brother of Sergeant Green, Charles C. Green, also a member of Latham's battery, served throughout the war in the rank of sergeant, and was wounded at New Bern. He died in August, 1895.
