Also sharing their gravestone is their daughter, AnJanette Green Burdick Walker. There is no inscription for her on the stone, but she is listed on the cemetery records. Her grave faces south. She died when visiting a son in Minneapolis, MN and the family decided to bury her by her parents, rather than returning the body to her home in North Loup, Nebraska.

"Wells Kenyon Green 1807-1887
Dea. Wells K. Green was born in Pinckney, N. Y., May 2, 1807, and died in New Auburn, Minn., Aug. 18, 1887, aged 80 years, 3 months and 16 days. He was converted in 1830, and the following year was baptized into the Adams Church. In 1840 he moved to Watson, N. Y., and became a constituent member of the church at that place, and at the same time was set apart as deacon. In 1848, having changed his residence, he became a constituent member of the Hounsfield (N. Y.) Church. In 1854 he moved to Boone county, Ill, 16 miles from Walworth, Wis., and united with the church at the latter place. In 1863 he moved to Walworth, and in the following year to New Auburn, Minn., becoming a constituent member of the church at the latter place. He thus helped to organize three churches. He was very faithful and was gifted in exhortation and prayer."
