Mr. Green spent his entire life in Newton Township and Pleasant Hill and was widely known. Most of his life was spent on the farm but following the death of his companion five years ago, he retired and for the past two years has been in ill health, only a month ago he was persuaded to take up his residence with his daughter and was removed to the hospital only the day before his death.

Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day.
Earths joys grow dim, its glories pass away.
Change and decay in all around I see.
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.
