At his home in Adams Center, N. Y., March 2, 1907, Leonard R. Greene, in the eighty-seventh year of his age.
Mr. Greene was born near Adams Center, July 22, 1820, and spent his entire life in that vicinity. January 6, 1838, he was baptized into the fellowship of the Seventh-day Baptist church at Adams Center, of which he remained a faithful member for almost sixty years, until called home. October 29, 1845, he was united in marriage with Mary B. Potter of Adams Center. She was a sister to the late Dr. C. D. and Charles Potter, who were well known to all Recorder readers. After almost twenty years of married life, Mr. Greene was left to mourn the death of his companion, which occurred December 30, 1865. September 9, 1867, he was married to Pearlie C. Burdick, of DeRuyter, N. Y., who is still living. The marriage resulted in the birth of three daughters and one son, of whom the son only, Dr. F. L. Greene, of Auburn, N. Y., is now living.
Mr. Greene was highly respected wherever he was known; his kind genial disposition making friends for him throughout the community. On Sabbath afternoon, March 2, his wearied spirit took its flight to the land of rest, where Sabbaths have no end, and his long earth life was ended. Funeral services were conducted at his late home, March 5, and since Pastor Socwell was confined at home by sickness, the services were conducted by Rev. J. S. Wilds, of Adams. E. H. S.
