Died at Iron Mountain.

With feelings of deepest emotion, it be-
comes my duty to recordEthe death OF that
sanity, Christian lady, Mrs. JUDITH p.
GREEN. She died very suddenly on Satur-
day evening, October 18th, of dropsy of the
heart. During the day she had been feeling
about as well as usual, and ate her supper
with the family; being in her usual good
spirits, talking with the children as cheer
fully and pleasantly as none but mother
who loves hersfamiy could. A short time
after supper, while the folks were sitting
around the fire engaged in pleasant con-
verse, she came into the room, took up a pa
per and began to read. She became very
much interested in the paper and read until
about nine O'Clock, when she laid the paper
aside and said, "I'll finish that piece to-mor-
row." The family had retired for the night,
and most of them were asleep, when she
screamed and called for help. Mr.. Green

ter, and continued to grow worse, until re-
lief came in death. She was sick only about
forty minutes; and thus, after life OF
transcendent devotion to her family, as well
of eminent usefulness to others, she sweetly
sleeps in the bosom of the blessed Redeemer,
waiting the final resurrection ana peaceful
rest in Immortality.
Mrs. Green was born near Dover, Stewart
county, Tennessee, February oath, 1889, and
raised near Mayfield, Kentucky. She was
married at the latter place Mr.: Jerry, D:
Green on September 21st, 1856. They lived
at the latter place until 1862, when Mr..
Green moved to Coloma, III. He remained
at that place only a few months, when he
came to Missouri, and has since lived in
Washington and st. Francois counties.
Mrs. Green united with the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, in 1853, near Gale
donna, and has since lived worthy and ex-
emplary Christian life.

single handed, and how true the saving in

Mr.. Green buried his infant son, and now he
is called upon to give up his beloved wife,

earnest and fervent PRAYER. He read from

reality of death.
