Green, in Chenango County, New York, in 1890 was a farming community whose economy rested on dairy herds, hay, and grain grown on the surrounding hillsides. Milk moved to cheese and butter makers in the valley, and the county was known across the state for its dairy output. The old Chenango Canal, which had once carried freight north and south through the valley, had been shut down by then, so wagons and the railroad now did the hauling. Village life centered on the churches, stores, and schools along the main streets, and town meetings and local fairs drew families in from the outlying farms. Residents of that day would have known their village first as a stop on the valley's agricultural trade, not as a manufacturing center.
