Many people in town speak with regret
of General Greene whose death we an
nounced yesterday. He was much
esteemed by the staff in the surveyor
generals office, where his undoubted
ability as an engineer and his genial
manner inspired respect and esteem. In
private life he was frank, generous and
warm-hearted. He loved the compan-
ship of friends and always extended a
warm welcome to visitors at his office or
home. In politics he was a democrat,
but he never allowed his own convictions
to spoil good fellowship. He was re-
moved from office some weeks before his
term expired. He accepted the decree
good humoredly and treated his successor
Major Eaton, with the utmost courtesy IN
transferring the records to him. Gen.
Greene felt kindly towards Casserole
county. He initiated the public surveys
that have been made near Kibbey and
owned property here until his last visit
when he sold it. He had become a
thorough Montanian and valued the
friendship of Major Roman, Senator
Maglnnis and others like them in whom
| wit and wisdom are so well combined.
| The funeral of Gen. Greene took place
Yesterday in Helena. The pail hearers
were Messrs. Jones, Chessman, keerly,
Sezen, Davis and Ashby. The Montana
Society of Civil Engineers sent a floral
pillow as q last tribute of affection and
regard.
