Hon. George F. Green-

The central thought in our community this week has been the life and death of esteemed citizen, Hon. Geo. F. Green, whose release from great suffering came last week, Friday morning. Since the year 1880, Mr. Green has not passed a winter without more or less illness. During all his sickness he was not confined to his bed for any length of time. His rallying power was wonderful. He suffered much but the end was peaceful. He went to sleep to rest from pain. Measured both by years and duty done, he was ripe for the closing scene. To mourn over such a triumphant death seems wrong, still the loss of such a helper, counselor and friend as Mr. Green causes deep regret and makes us wish that such lives could be extended in an unimpaired state much beyond the for score years and ten. By the death of Mr. Green many in this community have lost a personal friend and every good cause a ready helper. No true charity suffered for want of his assistance. He was kind, liberal and unselfish. Most conspicuous among his traits were strong convictions, sound judgment, strict integrity, a scrupulous sense of duty, warm sympathy. He had all the attributes necessary to a faultless manhood. Our town is proud of having been the home of such a citizen and the state of his adoption will honor his name.
