Rollie C. Green of Albion Passes Away.


Rollin Charles Green, the son of
Charles r. and Frances Williams
Green was born Feb. IL, 1861 at
Albion, Wis. on the farm which
his grandfather, Duty J. Green pur-
chased from the government. He
died Wednesday afternoon March %,
1921 at his farm home.
He was educated in the common
schools, Albion Academy and Milton
College.
Feb. a, 1877 he was baptised and
united with the Seventh Day Baptist
church of Albion. He was a member
of the Modern Woodmen Society as
well as the Masons.
On July 81, 1891 he was married
to Clara M. Gates. To this union
four children were born viz Way

is a source of great comfort to his
dear ones that he was at home when
the summons came where they could
minister to his wants and do every
thing possible for his comfort. He
was a man who loved his home and
family above all else. He was of
such a tender hearted nature, that
bit of suffering or misfortune even
to people with whom he was barely
acquainted, always enlisted his
sympathy and brought tears to his
eyes. His aged mother has been
spared to him during his life and
their devotion to each other has
been beautiful to see. His father died
fourteen years ago and time has
never seemed to heal for him the
wound made by his death.
Among his friends in the outside
world, associates in business and the
dairy industry he held high place
of esteem. At one time he was Vice
President of the Wisconsin Butter
makers Association and was honor
ed in many ways by associates in
this industry. His tastes were SIM
pie and the city and it's attractions
could not lure him away for any
length of time from the farm home,
his family, and the Jerseys he loved
so well.
There are left to mourn their loss
his aged mother, his wife, his four
children, daughter-in-law and one
grandson, Rollin, besides a host of
other relatives and friends.
Funeral services were conducted
Saturday afternoon at the home by
Rev. c. S. Sayre and at the grave
by the Masonic Lodge of Edgerton.
Interment was made in beautiful
spot in Evergreen Cemetery. The un-
usually large assemblage of people
and the profuse floral offerings at
the funeral gave evidence of the love
and esteem in which the deceased
was held.
