  The middle initial M here probably represents a nickname Em as a short form of the name Emory, which appears in his full name on the California Death record below.

  George's date of birth on the grave info below is 6 August 1916.  This accords with his reported age of 3 in the 1920 census.  But in 1930 he is reported as only 12 years old.  In what appears to be his the correct marriage records, George reports his age as 19 in 1935.
  
  Note that when they married in 1935, both George and Jewel living in DeQueen, Arkansas, just over the border from Oklahoma.  This is quite a distance away form Duncan, Oklahoma, where he was living in his parents in 1930.  My thanks to cousin an coresearcher Marion Mixon for finding this marriage record.  The census shows that George's parents had also moved to DeQueen from Parmer County, Texas, and the 1940 census reports that was their residence in 1935.  But they were back in Parmer County for the 1940 census, where they were reported as resident in Friona.
  
  George Green
  Age 19, Birth Year abt 1916
  Residence DeQueen, Sevier, Arkansas
  Spouse's Name Jewel Wells
  Spouse's Age 16, Spouse's Residence DeQueen, Sevier, Arkansas
  Marriage 5 Sep 1935 Sevier County
  Marriage License Date 5 Sep 1935
  
  For the 1940 census, they were enumerated in Parmer County, Texas, where his aprents ahd previouslylliived and had mvoed back befroe the 1940 census.  In 1940 hsi paretns were living in the town of Friona, while George and Jewel were living out in the county farming.  This census reported that in 1935 they are also living in Parmer County.  This is possible if they moved soon after their marriage.  That adds more uncertainty, though, as to why they were living in DeQueen, Arkansas in September 1935 when they got married.

  Green, George Head M W 23 Married Grade 4 b Oklahoma Same place Parmer County in 1935 Farmer [b abt 1917]
  Green, Jewel Wife F W 21 Married Grade 8 b Texas Same place Parmer County in 1935 [b abt 1919]
  Green, Donald Son M W 3 Grade 0 b Texas Same place Parmer County in 1935 [b abt 1937]
  
  A quick check on other familly records clarifies somewhat that their whole famliy have been living in DeQueen in 1935.  Taylor and Mattie's record in the 1940 census shows that they and the unmarreid sons Elmer and Glen were living in DeQueen in 1935.  So it appears George and his new wife moved on earlier, soon after their marriage, then his parents and brothers joined them some time the next year or later.  They were all enumerated in Friona, Texas, near the New Mexico border.
