Mrs. Anna Green, aged 72 years, a pioneer resident of Union County, South Dakota, died at the home of her son, Horace Green, at Dakota City, Nebraska, shortly before 7 o’clock Tuesday evening following a long illness.

Funeral services will be held at the home at Dakota City Friday morning and then the body will be conveyed overland to Alcester for interment in the cemetery at that place.

Anna Paine, was born in New York state but came to Elk Point, South Dakota, when a young girl. She was united in marriage with George Washington Green at Elk Point in 1878 and they moved at once onto Mr. Green’s homestead in Big Springs Township, Union County, southwest of Hawarden, where they resided for twenty-five years when they moved to Alcester. They made their home in Alcester until 1920 when owing to the ill health of Mr. Green they moved to Long Beach, California, where Mr. Green died on February 17, 1922. Since the death of Mr. Green, Mrs. Green has made her home with her son, Horace Green, a part of the time on the homestead in Big Springs township but for the past few years at Dakota City, Nebraska.

Besides her son, Horace she is survived by one other son, Harry H. Green of Sioux City. A third son died in infancy. She is also survived by five brothers and one sister, Henry Paine of Elk Point, Ben and Jessie Paine of Pollock, South Dakota, George Paine of Aberdeen, South Dakota, William Paine of New York State and Mrs. Peter Leonard of Pollock, South Dakota.

Mrs. Green had many friends among the older settlers in this territory who will learn of her death with regret and extend sincere sympathy to the members of her family.
