Edward Green was born in Alfred, N. Y., July 5, 1816, and died April 14,
1909, aged 92 years, 9 months and 9 days. He was the son of Paris and Polly
Green, and grandson of Judge Edward Green, and the last surviving member of a
family of nine children.
He became a Christian early in life, and was baptized by Elder James H.
Cochrane and united with the Second Alfred Church. He was married to Tacy
Hamilton, June 19, 1847. To them were born two children, Maxson A. and Ella A.
The latter died July 29, 1873. He with his family were charter members of the
Seventh-day Baptist Church at Andover, of which he remained a faithful member
until called to the church triumphant. His patient endurance during his severe
illness gave abundant proof of his faith and trust in the divine help. He
leaves to mourn his loss an aged widow, an only son, six grandchildren and two
great-grandchildren and a large circle of relatives and friends.
The funeral services were held from his late home on Sunday afternoon, April
18, and the body was laid to rest in the family lot in Alfred Rural Cemetery.
