"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 62, No 10, p 157, Mar. 5, 1906.
Wells Lee Green, the oldest child of Deacon Wells K. and Maria Ann Green, was born in Hounsfield, Jefferson Co., N. Y., April 30, 1833, and died at North Loup, Neb., January 30, 1906.
When about eighteen years of age, under the preaching of Elder Alexander Campbell, he was baptized, and became a member of the Hounsfield Seventh-day Baptist Church. On Oct 18, 1855, he was married to Lois Lucretta Davis. The same autumn, they moved to Illinois. They afterward lived eight years in Walworth, Wis., and fourteen years in Carlston, Minn. They came to North Loup in 1877, and at once became identified with the North Loup Seventh-day Baptist Church, where he was holding his membership at the time of his death. Brother and sister Green were the parents of six children; three sons survive, and with their mother, and a large number of near relatives, mourn the loss of the deceased. Brother Green was of a quiet, rather retiring disposition, but he loved the house of God and its services, and his regular and punctual occupancy of his accustomed place will be greatly missed by us who are left. He had been a very strong man, but for the past few months his friends had observed a rapid decline in health, which resulted in a paralytic stroke on the morning of January 14, 1906. Funeral services were held at the church, January 31, conducted by his pastor, Rev. M. B. Kelly. M. B. K.

Lois Davis Green was born in Brookfield, New York, October 27, 1833 [1835], and died at the home of her son, L. E. Green, in this village, early Tuesday morning, November 30, 1920 aged a little over 87 [85] years.
On November 28, 1855, she was united in marriage with Lee Green at Watson, New York. Here Aunt Lois was converted and became a member of the Seventh day Baptist church. Mr. and Mrs. Green lived in Wisconsin and Minnesota before coming to this place about 40 years ago. They transferred their membership to the church of their faith in the village and were always active in service as long as they were able to render service. For many years she was one of the most faithful members of the choir. Mr. Green died January 31, 1906.
Of her family she leaves three sons, all living at this place. She had one brother living at Buffalo, New York, and a brother, Henry, living at this place.
She had been failing for some time, and on the morning of her death she was sleeping quietly when the family arose - later when they went to her bedside she was dead.
Funeral services were held at the church Wednesday afternoon and the body was laid to rest by the side of her husband and daughter in the North Loup cemetery.
