Ursula D. Monroe Green was the oldest child of Henry Monroe and Sarah Jane Humphrey Monroe, and was born in Alfred, New York, in December, 1848, and died in Milton, Wisconsin, June 24th, 1908, in the 60th year of her age. Of her own family, the aged mother and two sisters, Mrs. Chauncy Gray, of Milton Junction, and Mrs. Alfred Dunham, of Harriman, Tennessee, and one brother, Mr. Fremont Monroe of Battle Creek, Mich., survive her. When a babe her parents moved to Wisconsin which has ever since been the family home. In her girlhood she made good use of the opportunities offered for obtaining an education, attending several terms at the Milton Academy and College, and became a successful teacher.
At 21 years of age, Dec. 25, 1869, she was happily married to Mr. Clark Witter Green who, with their two children, Mrs. Rena Green Hall and Clark Wendell Green Jr., and a large circle of friends mourn her departure. From early youth Mrs. Green has been a devoted Christian, having professed faith in Christ by baptism, administered by Eld. James C. Rogers, when but a child. She found fellowship in the Seventh-day Baptist Church, successively, at Rock River, Milton Junction, and at Milton. Her last sickness, which was long and painful, she bore with sweet Christian fortitude.
The funeral was held at her late home on Madison Avenue conducted by her Pastor, Dr. Platts, and was attended by a large concourse of friends and neighbors who deeply sympathize with the bereaved family.
