Last week it was the painful duty to record the death of Mrs. Sarah Green. To-day we are called upon to write the obituary of the aged partner of her joys and sorrows for over 69 years, a period seldom surpasses in the annals of marriage. Andrew N. Green was born in Oneida County, N. Y., May 29th, 1822, and was married to Sarah Kingsley Oct. 17th, 1842. They came west to Minnesota in 1856 and removed to Iowa in 1866. His death came four days after Mrs. Green had passed away, hastened by the shock of her death and his own feeble condition. His daughter and husband. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Rivers, remained after the burial of their mother to assist his daughter Ada in his care, doing all in their power to ease his grief and loneliness but when in death it ended they could not mourn for he was at peace. Mr. Green has lived among us for nearly fifty years, a quiet citizen, kind in his family relations and respected by neighbors and friends. He was very devoted to his wife, generally agreeing with her views on all subjects which were nearly always correct. The funeral was held in the church here on Thursday morning at 10 o’clock, Rev. Gammons officiating, and interment was made in our cemetery by the side of his wife, who was buried less than a week before. The family have our sincere sympathy in this double bereavement.Transcriber’s Note: His gravestone in the Eddy Cemetery shows the name spelled Greene. He died Feb. 18, 1913.
