THE LATE MRS WILLIAM G. GREEN.


The funeral of Mrs William G. Green
was held on Saturday last at her late
residence, and q large circle of friends
paid their last respects to her that was
formerly Mary Blinn. Her death, while
it had been expected for several weeks,
was sad one to think of. She was the
mother Of two small children who will
miss her greatly. She was right in the
prime of life as far as age was concern.
ed, being only 80; besides, new home,
last season, was largely added to and
everything which made the world look
bright and happy for her in the future
was hers. But alas! death stepped in,
and what was then all sunshine and hap
piness is now clouds and sorrow to her
relatives and friends.
