Capt. Charles Jones Green, of Dallas, Texas, died at Culpeper, Va., Wednesday morning of cancer of the stomach, aged 70 years.


The deceased was born and raised in Stafford and commanded a company from that county in the 40th Virginia Regiment during the war of 1861-65. He was a gallant soldier. After the war he settled in Texas and later married Miss Virginia Whittemore, a daughter of the late John M. Whittemore, of New York, who died a number of years ago.


He was a brother of the late Duff Green, of Stafford, and James L. Green, of this city. He had been a sufferer for years, having undergone several operations for the disease which caused his death. He was a man generally beloved in his adopted state for his worth and will be missed from business and social circles.


He came to Virginia for rest and recuperation and was accompanied by his only child, Mrs. Virginia Whittemore Glenn, and sister, Mrs. Lawrence Ashton. It has not been determined where he will be buried.

Major Chas. J. Green, youngest son of the late Duff and Eliza Anne Green, of Falmouth, Stafford county, Va., was called from our midst Tuesday, Sept. 7th, 1909, at the residence of Mrs. Latham, in Culpeper, after a severe and protracted illness. He had come to Virginia in July for rest and recuperation, attended by his sister, Mrs. Lawrence Ashton, and later on by his daughter, Mrs. F. I. Glenn. All that medical skill could accomplish was without avail, having friends and physicians at home and abroad doing their all for him, but God claimed him for his own and he died as bravely and nobly as he had lived.


Major Green entered the Confederate army at the age of nineteen having just graduated at the V.M.I. He was a gallant Confederate soldier and conducted himself in all of the engagements in which he participated with great honor. He was wounded six times whilst doing his duty on Virginia's battle fields where he served under Lee and Jackson, being promoted to major of the 47th Virginia Regiment, winning his sword, which was always prized by him as one of his priceless treasures.


When leaving Culpeper his old army comrades, meeting there at the time, begged the privilege of bearing his body to the train, which was met in Dallas by a host of loving friends. The next day from his residence he was tenderly laid by his wife and son, Wm. J. Green. The R. Rev. A. C. Garnett,

D.D., L.L.D., Bishop of Dallas, officiated, as he had done 31 years before for his loved ones.


In his death Dallas loses one of its oldest and most respected citizens, and his loss is deeply mourned. He was a man generally beloved in his adopted State for his true worth, and will be missed from business and social circles. From Virginia to the borders of Texas, he was the possessor of hosts of friends, and through them acts of his gallantry in the Civil war have been spread throughout the Southern States.


Sleep, soldier! still in honored rest

Your truth and valor wearing;

The bravest are the tenderest,

The loving are the daring.
