Emma J. Hull Greene, daughter of Benjamin Franklin and Margaret Sweet Hull, was born March 26, 1851, and died in the town of Adams, N. Y., December 9, 1911.
Mrs. Greene united with the Adams Center Seventh-day Baptist Church, April 23, 1870. She was married to William DeFrance Greene, June 29, 1886. Mrs. Greene's mother was helpless for eighteen years and tenderly cared for by the daughter during all these years of helplessness. Her husband was quite feeble for more than a year with partial paralysis, and Mrs. Greene was often both courage and feet for him.
She has been closely identified with all the work of the church and will be greatly missed in the counsels of the Ladies' Aid. Her presence and helpful work in all the social work of the church will be greatly missed. Those who have reason to remember her because of her kindly helpfulness to them are legion. A sister, companion, friend and Christian woman has gone to the silent land. While we mourn her loss, may the dear Father help memory to weave the beautiful garland that her deeds are worthy of.
Burial services were held at the late home, Tuesday afternoon, December 11. E. A. W.
