GARET LYNCH GREEN, aged 65, wife of
Hon. B. w. GREEN, passed away at
one o'clock this (Thursday) morning,
surrounded by her kind and faithful
husband, daughter, Miss Alice and two
sisters.
Feb. 25th, last, Mrs. Green, who had
always been a robust and energetic
lady, was taken sick and continued to
grow worse, battling the skill of the
best physicians in Emporium, William
sport and Philadelphia, having but
recently returned from second visit
to the Methodist Hospital, and rapid
ly grew worse, until this morning,
when she peacefully passed to her re
ward. During her long and painful

skill could command was lovingly

mourn her death-the sisters being at
the bedside when her spirit took it's
fight to a better world
The grim monster, death, has invad-
ed many homes in Emporium during
the past few months and called many
of our neighbors and friends, but in no
instance will the vacancy be more re-
gretted than in the home of our friends
and neighbors. "Aunt Mattie," who
always had a cheerful word for her
friends, leaves a void in that pleasant
home and family, the church and the
community, long to be revered.
Would that time would permit of a
more extended obituary, but that is
| impossible at this late hour.
Always of a dom estic nature and
never given much to society, yet she
| delighted to entertain her friends and
neighbors. Being a model wife and
excellent entertainer it was very many
social functions that were given at
their comfortable residences on Sixth
| street, many of those pleasant occa-
sions it having been our honor to at
tend, as the guest of Judge Green
| and wife. Mrs. Green, who was well
known to a majority of the citizens of
this county, was always liberal to a
fault and was ever ready to aid and
assist the needy and afflicted, aiding
all churches and societies when called
upon. Respected by all, the death OF
this lady is deeply regretted and the
afflicted husband and niece, who pa
tiently ministered to her every want
during the long ordeal of Illness, have
the profound sympathy Of our citizens.
