Mr. John Greene, a pioneer citizen, well-to-do farmer, and prominent church worker, was found dead in his bed Monday morning.
Mr. Greene, who was 84 years of age, had not been well for some days prior to his death but was able to sit in a chair Sunday. About 2 o'clock Monday morning he asked for a drink of water, which was given him. When Mrs. Greene went to his bed the next morning life was extinct. His death was probably due to heart trouble as there were no indications of a struggle in passing away.
He was a son of Edward Greene, whose father was killed in Old Virginia by a rock under which a fire was built by a party of hunters.
Deceased was a resident of this county all his life, except a few years spent in Indiana, where he was first married.

Edward Greene was then eleven years old. He owed his escape to a pile of wood which enabled him to crawl out and give the alarm.
Mr. Greene was a member of the Pleasant Valley Baptist Church since early in youth.
He leaves an estate valued at $10,000 to $12,000, which will go to his heirs. He is survived by his wife and five children, Mrs. G. W. Tinchner, Mrs. A. F. Pringle, Mrs. Theodore Casto, Mrs. D. N. Simmons, and S. F. Greene.
The remains were interred beside those of his first wife in the Pleasant Valley Cemetery, Tuesday, following funeral services conducted by Rev. T. O. Powers.
