Biography

GREEN, Annie Puryear​1 Jan 1857​20 Nov 1935 (w/o James William Green) (d/o Henry D. and Elizabeth Reed Puryear) In Memoriam: The Pulaski Citizen 27 Nov 1935 In the going away of this good woman, we mourn the loss of one whose services are written in characters of living, loving, light, on the pages of home, communityand church. In earlylife, scarcely out of her teens, she was married to James W. Green, and for more than half a century the walked hand in hand, and heart united with heart. She was frugal, industrious, unselfish, always hopeful and cheerful. She was an ideal wife, a devoted mother, good neighbor, and a loyal consecrated Christian. She loved her home, her children and her church. Beautiful character, gentle, refined, modest, unassuming, charitable, she was loved and honored by all who knew her. The large congregation, the many beautiful florals, all testify to her superior worth to all classes of society, the well-to-do, the poor, the old and the young. A number of colored persons wept as they took the last look, at the one who had been so kind to them. She has left to her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, a legacy far more precious and valuable, than silver and gold, and bonds, and cattle on a thousand hills. She died in the community where she had lived all her life, surrounded by those who had known and loved her so long. Personally I have lost a true and tried friend. For more than forty years, I have shared her hospitality, her prayers and her love. Moriah Church has lost one of its best and most devoted members. Having lived nearly seventy-nine years, the greatest number of those who began life with her, have crossed the “Great Divide” we know where to find her. T. E. Hudson.

Annie was mentioned on a memorial in Mount Moriah Cemetery, Pulaski, Giles County, Tennessee, United States with a death date of 1935.^[1]
