At her home in Alfred, N. Y., Aug. 16, 1883, of complication of diseases and age, Mrs. Polly Green, wife of Paris Green, deceased, aged 94 years and 1 month. This aged sister had been a long time confined to her house by her infirmities, and so had not for years assembled with God's people for worship. She nevertheless was looking forward in the hope of the gospel.
She was born in East Greenwich, R. I., in 1789, and moved to Madison county, N. Y., in 1801, and was married to Paris Green in 1807. In 1816 she moved to Alfred, where she continued to reside the remainder of her life, becoming the mother of nine children, seven of whom are still living. She was fifteen years a widow.
The period of this long life covers very many of the great events and changed of this century in the history of the nation, the town in which she died, the church of which she was a member, and of her own family. Her long life is ended, the toil is over, and the reality, more real than the present life, is entered. Sermon by the writer, Aug. 18th, from Heb. 11: 16. J. S.
