He is memorialized on the side of his brother's marker and with a military marker of his own, in the family plot in Cerrillos.
Cerrillos, N.M., July 14 – Henry Clay Green, eldest son of Mr. And Mrs. Richard Green of Cerrillos, Santa Fe county, New Mexico, was born 22 August 1866, at Meat Camp, North Carolina.
At the age of six years [1872] he moved to Jack County, Texas, with his parents, where he remained for 10 years [1882]. At the age of 16 he moved with his parents to Cerrillos, New Mexico where he has since resided.
He was educated at the Ottawa, Kansas University, and after leaving school followed mining, was foreman of the Stephenson & Bennett mine near Las Cruces, New Mexico. At the time of the first call for volunteers to go to Cuba, he held a position at the Ortiz mine, in Santa Fe, New Mexico at $3 per day, which he resigned.
