Death of HI. l.. Green.


Henry L. Green, whose severe illness
has been mentioned, died at his home
Monday morning at one o'clock of pneu-
monia, induced by general breaking
down of the system. He was born in
Danville, Sept. 10, 1882, came to Lyn-
don with his parents TO reside when only
three or four years old, and excepting
for a few months this has always been
his home. In his younger days Mr..
Green was married, but lived with his
wife only a short time, and she has been
dead many years. Owing to defect in
his evesight he took up the trade of
basket making at which he worked as
long as his health permitted but his sight
gradually failed, and for twenty years or
more he has been able to see but little,
and many will miss his familiar figure on
the street as guided by his cane or led by
some child, he has in favorable weather
been back and forth to call on some old
friend or sit awhile in the stores. Dur
ing the past few years S. W. Brown and
wife have lived with him, boarding and
caring for him, and have done their work
faithfully. He leaves no relatives nearer
than nephews, neices and cousins, one of
whom, Henry F. Green, of Littleton, has
in late years exercised a very kind care
and oversight over the affairs of his
cousin. Mr.. Green has been for years a
member of the Methodist church and
was never absent from its services when
able to attend. The funeral will take
place Thursday afternoon at his late resi-
dence conducted by his pastor, Rev. H.
G. McGlauAin, and the interment will be
at Lyndon Center.
