At North Loup, Valley Co., Neb., May 6th, 1880, of congestion of the lungs, William Norton Green, son of Palmer W. and Freelove Green of Adams, N. Y., formerly of Watson, N. Y., aged 41 years. Bro. Green was born in Watson, and spent most of his time there, except one year and a half in the army of our country. In March, 1880, he came to Nebraska to seek a home among our people, and into our society only some two weeks before his death; and here, after a brief illness of some six days, died at the home of his cousin, Henry S. Davis, leaving a wife, a grown up daughter, and an infant child, in sorrow, but among relatives and dear friends. Some fifteen years since, Bro. Green professed faith in Christ, and was baptized by Eld. C. M. Lewis, during a revival in Watson, and has ever since been a firm believer in Christ and his religion. He expressed great anxiety for peace of mind in Christ, and found it, to the joy of his own soul, and the comfort of his friends. In song and prayer, and from the expressions of his lips, he left the comforting hope that he was ready to die. His funeral was attended at North Loup, on Sabbath, May 8th, by a large audience, the religious services for the occasion being led by Elders C. M. Lewis and Oscar Babcock. C. M. L.

Elizabeth L. Williams was born October 15, 1838, at Watson, Lewis County, N. Y., and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. George Combs, on their farm west of North Loup, September, 1928, almost 90 years of age.
She was the second child in a family of eight born to Deacon Daniel P. Williams and Lucinda Scriven Williams and was in lineal descent to Roger Williams, founder of Rhode Island. She was a sister of the late Deacon Jacob Williams, who spent a large part of his life in this community, and of Henry Williams, of Boulder, Colo., the only living member of the family.
Her early life was spent in New York, where she did some teaching and where on April 2, 1859, she was married to William N. Greene, who a few years later served his country in the Civil War. Five children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Greene, only one of whom grew to maturity, Ella, the wife of George Combs of this vicinity. In the spring of 1880 they moved to Nebraska to seek a new home, but within a very few weeks her husband died and left her alone in this new home to care for her only daughter. For many years they lived in town in the house now owned by Robert Peterson, and after the marriage of the daughter she moved with them, twenty-four years ago, to the farm where she died.
Mrs. Greene was baptized at the age of twelve years and joined the Watson (N. Y.) Seventh Day Baptist Church. When she moved to Nebraska she and her husband joined the North Loup Church, where she has since held membership. She was a good Christian woman and did her work faithfully and well. She was somewhat retiring and quiet, but was loved by all who knew her. She was of even temperament, which made it easy always to know just what her attitude towards life's questions would be.
Mrs. Greene passed quietly away last Thursday morning, after a brief illness, and memorial services were held at the home Sabbath afternoon, September 15. L. O. Greene, in the absence of the pastor, had charge of the services. The bearers were relatives. There were many beautiful floral offerings, which indicate the esteem in which "Aunt Elizabeth" was held. Burial was at the Hillside Cemetery. L. O. G.
