Rollin Charles Green, only son of Charles R. and Frances Williams Green, was born February 12, 1861, at Albion, Wis., on the farm which his grandfather, Duty J. Green, purchased from the government, and died at the same place Wednesday afternoon, March 23, 1921.
He was educated in the common schools, Albion Academy and Milton College. On February 4, 1891, he was married to Miss Clara M. Gates. To this union were born four children, namely, Wayland M., Sidney C., Walton and Doris.
For nearly thirty years he has been a most efficient salesman for the Creamery Package Company of Chicago. He continued in this work, except for two months' illness last year, until four days before his death.
He was a man who loved his home and family above all else; was of an exceptionally tenderhearted nature and so helpful among his business associates that for years he has been known among them as "father".
His aged mother has been spared to him during his life and their devotion to each other has been beautiful to see. His father died fourteen years ago.
There are left to mourn their loss, his mother, wife, his four children, a daughter-in-law and one grandson, Rollin, besides a host of other relatives and friends.
Funeral services were held at the home conducted by Pastor C. S. Sayre assisted by Mr. J. Q. Emery, State Dairy and Food Commissioner, a life long friend of the family, and at the grave the services were in charge of the Masonic Lodge of Edgerton. Interment was made in Evergreen Cemetery. C. S. S.
