Obituary

J. C. GREEN OBITUARY. J. C. Green was born Sept. 19, 1837, at Richmond, Wayne county, Ind., died May 22, 1919. He married Pheba A. Young August 29, 1860. to this union were born ten children, seven of whom are still living--George W. Green, Hoquiam, Wash.; J. L. Green, Grants Pass, Or.; C. H. Green, Mabton, Wash., E. O. Green, Monroe, Wash.; Mrs. M.V. Bond, Portland; Mrs. L.M. Evans, Woodburn; Mrs. M. Beach, Friend, Or. Mr. and Mrs. Green with their four oldest children moved to Washington county, Kas., in 1871, settling on a homestead, where they raised their family. They endured the hardships of frontier life until their labors materialized into a comfortable home. In 1890 they moved to Oregon, locating first about three miles east of Woodburn. Mr. Green owned a number of ranches and resident properties in and about Woodburn and lived in this city a number of years. He was a veteran of the Civil War, having enlisted in the 129th Indiana Volunteers, Company G. He was a respected citizen, a kind and affectionate husband and a good father. He was a great sufferer during the last two months of his long illness and passed away early on the morning of May 22 to be at rest.

The funeral was conducted by Elder G. T, Neal at the Armory Friday afternoon, May 28, there being a large attendance of relative and friends. The entire service was very impressive and the sermon appropriate. Mr. H. Overton, having charge of the house decoration and song service, assisted by others, carried out her part in a perfect manner. A display of flowers, blending with other decorations, made a beautiful effect. The pall bearers were Amos Beach, W. A.Roberts, L.M.Maxfield, A. Nelson, B. F. Hall and Hiram Overton, the first four being veterans. It was an impressive scene to see those old comrades, who with deceased had fought together in one common cause for union and freedom, move silently with the remains to the hearse and to the final resting place at Belle Passi cemetery.
