Returning home M was again elect

influence that the Louisiana lottery

Early in life Captain Ditto allied
himself with the forces of morality
and righteousness. joined the MethO

death was faithful TO his baptismal
VOWS. No stress of weather could
keep him from his accustomed seat.

DEATH OF Mr.. OTIS 7. GREEN

IT. OTIS Thatcher Green died at his
residence in this city at the noon hour
on Monday after a short illness.
The deceased was born in Attica
Indiana, March >. 1868. He came to
Florida in 1882 and began his life here
as an orange grower, but finding this
occupation uncongenial he entered the
law Office OF Mr.. Robert L. Anderson
in 1854, and in 1856 he was admitted
TO the bar. but before entering upon
active practice he took a special
course in the law school of the Uni
Versity OF Virginia Returning here
ne entered into active practice, and at
once commanded a leading position.
There was something in his presence
"a magnetism of manner-that at
tracted men toward him. This was
shown in the fact that as soon as he
was admitted to the bar he was made
attorney for the city. and in 1892 was
placed at the head of the city govern
ment. He never lost his popularity
hut as he grew older his law practice
became so cumulative that it required
an Of his attention. and although en-
joying the excitement of politics and
the hcnors of Office, he was compelled
to forego those pleasures.
In 1887 Mr.. Green was married to
Miss Emily Badger, eldest daughter
Of Col. and Mrs. Edward Badger one
of the most prominent families of our
city.
He is survived by Mrs. Green and
two sons, Edward Badger Green and
Otis Thatcher Green. The former is
a student at the University of Florida
and will soon graduate.
Mr.. Green was a membe" of the
Knights Of Pythias and the Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks, and the
members of those orders will attend
the funeral in a body.
The funeral will be conducted from
the residence on Oklawaha avenue
this afternoon at $3.50 o'clock, Rev
Campbell Gray of Grace Episcopal
church officiating at the obsequies.
The members of the Ocala bar will
serve as pail bearers.
The traits in human character that
excite most admiration are love, 10y
atty and devotion. Otis Green pos
sessed these ennobling attributes in
stronger degree than anyone we have
ever known. There were no lengths
that he would not go to serve friend,
Measuring our words after years Of
association with him we can say that
when he was a friend he was friend
indeed.
With a trembling hand and fearful
eye We say conscientiously that Otis
Green was as loyal in his friendships
as that which makes the story of Da-
mon and Pythias immortal
No man who has lived a life of 10y
atty and devotion has lived in vain,
nor will re die in vain. We shall put
on the habiliments of mourning and
say that Otis Green is dead, but his
deeds will live after him, and the
world will he better and brighter for
his pilgrimage through il
There is no death, What seems so is
transition:
This life of mortal breath
Is but suburb Of the life eiysian.
Whose portal we call DEATH"
