The neighborhood was surprised and pained to hear of the sudden death of John N. Green, one of our old and respected settlers, who died on Friday evening. He has had a little heart trouble for some time past. Friday, he had threshed, and had cut the bands and done other work that was probably beyond his strength. He was unhitching his team for the night when he suddenly staggered. A young man nearby caught him in his arms. Stimulants were secured at once, but all signs of life were gone. He had doubtless died instantly, of heart failure.
Mr. Green was born in Adams county, New York, February 15,1818. He was married to Miss Spencer in 1811. Ten children were born to the couple, eight of whom are living. The family settled in this county in 1801 and Mr. Green has long been known as a quiet, neighborly, honest hearted citizen. He was highly esteemed by the old settlers. His standing was well illustrated by the universal sorrow manifested on all sides by the news of his sudden demise, and by the attendance at the funeral. Few funeral occasions in years have drawn so many people. The church would not hold them all. The service took place, Sunday, at 2 p. m. and was conducted by Rev, Miller. Burial took place in Buckingham cemetery
