William R. Green Jr.
William Raymond Green Jr. (September 7, 1889 – May 23, 1966)[1] was a judge of the United States Board of Tax Appeals (later the United States Tax Court) from 1925 to 1929.
Born in Audubon, Iowa,[2] Green was the son of William R. Green, who served in the United States Congress and later as a judge of the Court of Federal Claims.[3] Green received a law degree from Creighton University in Idaho in 1911, and practiced law in that state for a time.[2] He served as an officer in the United States Army Air Force during World War I,[2] and prior to his appointment to the board of tax appeals in 1925, served in the office of the Treasury Solicitor.[3][4]
Green resigned from the board of tax appeals to accept the position of general counsel for the Corning Glass Works in Corning, New York.[5] He was succeeded on the board of tax appeals by Annabel Matthews, the first woman appointed to that body.[6] By mid-1933, Green had formed a new law firm in New York with Hugh Satterlee, another former attorney from the Bureau of Internal Revenue.[7] Green remained in practice with that firm until his retirement in the early 1950s, and moved to Delaware around 1966.[2]
Green married Georgia Lloyd, with whom he had a daughter. Green died at a Delaware hospital following a brief illness, at the age of 77.[2]
