Andrew J. Greene, son of Paris and Polly Sweet Greene, was born in Alfred, N. Y., Oct. 15, 1828, and died at his late residence in Andover, N. Y., Dec. 16, 1901.
He was united in marriage with Catherine A. Witter Jan. 19, 1867. To them were born five children of whom Mrs. Elnora L. Matthews of Alfred, Mrs. Ida F. Williams of Andover, and Mr. Melvin A. Green of Hornellsville, survive him. In early life, 1847, he accepted by faith the Lord Jesus as his Redeemer, and united with the Second Seventh-day Baptist church of Alfred, and continued in covenant relations with that church as a consistent and worthy member until removed by death. He was quiet, thoughtful, just, upright and kind in his relations to his fellowmen. As a husband, father and friend he was considerate, helpful and loving, and will be sincerely mourned by those with whom his life has been so intimately associated. In his religious experience and methods of life, he thought and felt more than he expressed in words, and was never self-assuming or ostentatious, and always seemed to walk humbly before God. He leaves to his friends the sustaining hope that through death he has passed into the rest and inheritance of God's redeemed people.
