Obituary.
Mary, wife of Rev. Lot Green, of Van Buren township, died on last Friday morning of
pneumonia, aged nearly sixty-two years. She was a member of the Disciple church for over
fifty years and was a faithful and devout christian.
Palmer, son of Rev. Lot and Mary Green, died on last Thursday night, aged thirty years.
He was afflicted with consumption for over thirteen years. At his own request a post
mortem examination was held which showed that the right lung was entirely gone and also a
large portion of the left lung. The heart had grown fast to the breast bone, and how he
lived as long as he did is surprising. An ulcer formed in his right side ten years ago,
and after being lanced continued a running sore until he died.
Funeral services over the remains of both mother and son were held at the Disciple church
in Van Buren last Saturday at 10 o'clock, the sermon being preached by Rev. George W.
Henderson before a large congregation. Interment took place at the Lee cemetery.
