In Alfred, N. Y., May 16th, in the 67th year of his age, Mr. Nathan Green.
He was one of the earliest settlers of Alfred, and the first Sabbath-keeper that took up residence in that town. He drew up the articled of agreement, and was one of the number who composed the first Christian organization. And when, afterwards, this organization was lost in another and more perfect one, namely, the First Seventh-day Baptist Church of Alfred, brother Green was chosen its Clerk, which post he filled, with honor to himself, and to the entire satisfaction of the Church.
In many other ways did he render aid and peculiar succor to the infant Church, of which he remained a faithful and worthy member while it please God to grant him power to act. And now that he has passed from his field of labor to his home of rest, may it please the great Head of the Church to grant comfort to the bereaved, and that the place now vacated in the Church be worthily filled by another.
