Vestryman for many years; he
was instrumental in organizing
the vested choir, and for the
past ten years has been the eff
cient and well-beloved choir
master, and tor fully thirty
years he has been connected
with the choir of st. Jude's as
the tenor singer. The labor he
bestowed on the choir, so will.
ingly and carefully, will ever be
held in grateful remembrance.
There was no sadder period
in all this sad week than the
service at st. Jude's last Sun
day morning, when for the first
time, the choir filed out with
out their leader realizing that
his place must be forever va
cant. What wonder that every
eye was wet and every heart so
full that singing was nearly i'm
possible. But a few days ago

lived each day as if it were his

again all hearts were startled
by the news that Augustus Il,
Green had been called at a mo-
ment's notice to resign the ac-
tivities of this world, for the
rest of Paradise.
Mr.. Green had not felt we'll
for a couple of days, and had
consulted his physician, who
had warned him that his heart
action was not normal, but he
thought lightly of it, telling his
friends be would soon be him
self again, and attending to his
business just as usual. On
Thursday, April 30th. at about
5 p. m. he complained to A. B.
Warner. who was. with him in
the Office, of a violent headache
and a few moments later fell
backward in his chair. Mr.
Warner ran to his assistance,
and called for help; DR.. McNutt
came to him at once as did other
friends, but death came quick
ly, just a few hurried breaths,
and all was over.
Mrs. Green, with their SOL
and daughter, bad started but
day or two before for a months
visit in California and had not
yet reached there. kilograms
we're sent to intercept her train
and they were finally reached
at Las Vegas. Nevada, and ar
rived home at 1890 a. m. Tues
day. The funeral services were
held from St +Jude's church

O'Clock. Numerous friends came

Augustus Heath Green Vas
born Feb 2. 1857, in Marion
County, Mo, one mile north
west of Monroe City, upon the
same farm on which be had lived
all of his life. He was the
youngest of eleven children of
whom two sisters alone survive
He entered into rest April 80,
1908 in his 52nd year. He was
married Sept. II, 1889 to Laura
Hatch at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa.
His home life was an ideally
happy one; love- confidence and
sympathy marked the relation
ship between husband and wife,
parents and children. To his
only son be was more like an
elder brother, in mis- ready ap-
probation of the thoughts and
feelings of youth. naturally of a
bouyant, happy disposition, he
retained a certain boyish gayety
OF manner that made him the
acceptable companion of the
young. No social gathering was
complete without him and no
one entered more spontaneously
into the pleasures of youth. His
business relations were charac-
terized by promptness, courtesy
and integrity, and as a citizen
he was ever ready to advance
the interests and welfare of the
town. But. except in his own
home, there is no place where
he will be so sadly missed as in
his church relations. Born and
