1880 was the year that Thomas Henry and Martha Ann Greene, Albert's parents, moved east from Colorado to Hopkinton, RI in order to care for Thomas's "ailing" mother. Albert was born to them after their arrival in Hopkinton 4 June 1880.

7 March 1903 he married Ella Champlin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Champlin of Clarks Falls. The couple moved to Westerly where he was employed by C.B. Cottrell & Sons Co as a machinist. Due to impaired health from working indoors he left to work a farm for William S. Aldrich at the Brashaw Stock Farm near Ashaway. Four years later he left to become Caretaker at the Imperial Hotel at Narragansett Pier. Five years later he accepted a position in the shipyard at the S.C & T.
