Notes for William Riley GREEN
GREENDALE
Greendale (Daggett) was a small settlement of the 1880s where William R. Green and his sons Bill, Sanford, John and their families lived. The settlement was centered on a fork of Skull Creek near the present-day Greens Lakes, where ranches, a school and a post office developed. Today this alpine area is composed of campgrounds, summer homes, and a ranch or two.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Greendale
was the community name given to a small ranching area in the Uinta Mountains of south-central Daggett County, Utah, USA. During the early and mid twentieth century, the Greendale area was home to a small number of homestead families who primarily operated small cattle ranches in the remote and rugged terrain. Enough families lived in Greendale to support a one-room school in the 1920s and 1930s.
Major changes came to the Greendale area in the 1950s and 1960s due to the construction of Flaming Gorge Dam nearby. The region received its first paved roads, and increasing land values helped encourage most of the ranch families to sell out. Today some of the original homestead land is occupied by summer homes, while the former Oscar Swett ranch is maintained as an interpretive site by the United States Forest Service. The Swett Ranch is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
A United States post office operated at Greendale from 1915 to 1916

Newspaper: Vernal Express, 22 Nov 1912:
DEATH CALLS RILEY GREEN---A PIONEER

Grim death, relentless and irresistable, has again passed this way taking in its toll the venerable Riley Green who is now sleeping the last sleep in the Vernal cemetery.
Last Friday Mr. Green suffered a paralyzing stroke and on Wednesday he died. The funeral was held Thursday in the Vernal First ward house conducted by Bishop H.B. Calder. Appropriate remarks were made by President Don R. Calder, John N. Davis and Bishop Calder. Music was furnished by the First Ward double quartet, in charge of Radley Barket.
Deceased was 76 years old and was the father of fifteen children, seven of whom are living in the valley. They include Mrs. Joseph Burton, Mrs John Evans, Mrs Michael Flynn. One sister, Mrs Wm. Green and one brother, Ephraim Green who resides at the mouth of Ashley canyon. The wife died about four years ago.
Mr Green was a pioneer in this valley having come here from Kamas in the early 80’s. He was a farmer and orchardist and the Riley Green peach orchard has supplied many wants.”
