Notes for Amos GREENE
"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 23, No 21, p 83, May 23, 1867.
In Berlin, Rensselaer Co., N. Y., May 9th, 1887, Amos Green, aged 88 years, 8 months, and 10 days. Mr. Green was born in West Greenwich, R. I., Aug., 30th, 1778. In early life, his father, Dea. John Green, removed to Berlin, and settled, the country then being entirely new. In 1801, he was married, and soon after settled on the farm where he has ever since resided. He became a hopeful convert to religion in the time of the "Great Reformation," and united with the Seventh-day Baptist Church, where he has since retained his membership until called, as we trust, to enter the church triumphant.
Notes for Nancy (Spouse 1)
"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 16, No 25, p 99, Nov. 24, 1859.
In Berlin, N. Y., Nov. 9th, after an illness of only a few days, Nancy, wife of Amos Green, in the 74th year of her age.
Sister Green was born in Westerly, R. I., in the year 1786, and emigrated to Berlin when at the age of 9 years. She was married in 1801, and in 1802, entered upon her domestic duties in the house where she died.
She made a public profession of religion a few days afterward, and joined the Seventh-day Baptist Church, where she remained a worthy member till called to fill her place above.
Her deeds of benevolence and kindness were prominent in the community where she lived. The poor always shared her bounty. The sick and distressed found in her a willing helper in time of need. She was ever ready to impart her maternal counsels to all.
By her meek and gentle manners she endeared all, and thus found herself surrounded with numerous friends.
She leaves an afflicted companion, a family of three sons and four daughters, and a large circle of relatives, to mourn her departure.
Her funeral was attended on the 11th, and a discourse delivered by Eld. A. W. Coon, from the lxii. Psalm 8: "God is a refuge for us." H. H. B.
