Born in 1903, Lillian Green grew up on a farm across the road from the Dug Hill Church and Cemetery in Bella Vista. The farm is now the north end of the Kingswood Golf Course. Lillian's father died when she was only 12 years old, leaving her mother with a family of seven children to raise on her own.
Lillian Green was a secretary who transformed into a professional photographer.
After the Linebarger brothers opened Bella Vista as a summer resort in 1917, Lillian and her sister worked at the cottage owned by Dr. Stratton Brooks, a university president from Missouri, who later helped her and her sister get their college education. Later, Green returned to Bella Vista and worked as C.A. Linebarger's secretary.
Lillian Green, a self-taught photographer from Bella Vista. Green's work appeared on magazine covers in the 1940s. She also captured life around the summer resort while serving as a secretary for the Linebarger brothers for over 20 years. (Linebarger's established the vacation spot in 1917).
Lillian had one sister, Ruth, one of seven children. Siblings per 1910 Census: Effie Green, Lillie Green, Ruth Green, Violas Green, Mary Green.
Lillian Green's fascination with photography started when she took her niece, Nadine Logston to the Jesse James movie set in Pineville,McDonald County, Missouri. Nadine ended up being cast as an extra while Lillian fell in love with the work behind the scenes. When Lillian returned to Bella Vista, she bought a camera and taught herself photography.
Lillian Green's house had a miniature photo studio built on the right side. The house stood where the Hampton Place building now stands on the west side of U.S. 71, across from the south end of Lake Bella Vista. My sister, Merla Lynn would take care of her mother.
Lillian Green captured Carole Linebarger Harter in a 1948 issue of American Poultry Journal. Harter is the granddaughter of C.A. Linebarger and later became president of the Bella Vista Historical Society.
