MAUI, Feb. 10.-During Sabbath
evening, the 4th inst, Mrs. A. c.
Green of Makawao, after several
weeks Of patient suffering, passed to
that undiscovered country from whose
bourne no traveller returns.
During Monday afternoon, 9Th,
large gathering of friends from Wal
fuku and Makawao districts assembled
at her late residence to do last honors
to their beloved friend. DIR. E. @.
Beckwith, assisted by Rev. Kuia of
Paia, and Rev. s. Kapu Of Wailuku,
conducted the funeral obsequies, and
the music was in charge of the choir
of the Paia foreign church. and the
girls of Maunaolu Seminary. Many
carriages and large cavalcade fol-
lowed the hearse to the burial ground
of the old foreign church. Messrs. j.
w. Kalua, J. Kalama, j. d. DAbren,
w. F. Pogue, Thomas Campbell and
James Anderson acted as pall-hearers.
"Mother Green" as she was affec-
tionately called by all who knew her,
was BORN at Brimfeld, Mass, March
%, 1890. After graduating from Tx
bridge Seminary, she taught, more or
less, for several years, for the most
part in the public schools Of Provi-
dence, r. i. She was married to Rev.
J. s. Green at Providence Sept. IL,
1851, and arrived at Makawao Dec.
18th of the sumo year.
For nearly thirty-three years she
devoted her noble life to the Hawaiian
people. POokela native church, that
huge adobe edifice in Makawao, was
the scene of her untIring labor and
that of her husband, who died in 1878.
In the sixties $40 people were wont to
assemble there on the Sabbath, but
for many years the attendance has
been small, though regularly every
Sunday the large white-walled build
ing has thrown open its doors, and
Mother Green continued her much
loved Sunday school class till the last.
On the day Of her death her wander
ing thoughts took this shape and she
remarked, "I must 60 TO Sunday
school," She was a woman OF refine
ment and culture, charming CONVEX
sationalist and friend.
She was universally beloved be-
cause of her supreme forgetfulness of
especially for the youth, who were
forever in her thoughts.
Her life's philosophy and chief am
bition may be summed up in these
words: ''To love the Lord, her God,
with all her heart, and with all her
soul and with all her might, and her
neighbor as herself"
She leaves to mourn her loss,
son, Mr.. Frank G. Green, of Worces-
ter, Mass and his three children, her
daughter, Hiss Laura G.. Green, and
her step.daughter, Miss Mary E.
Green, of Honolulu, not to mention
hundreds of Hawaiians who have lost
a most valuable friend.
