Charles Franklin Greene was born in the town of Berlin, November 13, 1827, and died May 19, 1911, on the same farm where his birth occurred.
His father was Amos, whose father was Esq. John Greene, a pioneer of the Revolutionary days who on horseback came from Rhode Island and settled in the hollow which received the name "Greene Hollow," from him and his eight sons who at one time owned most of the farms from Berlin to the head of the valley. At an early date Charles Franklin united with the Berlin Seventh-day Baptist Church where he has always been a faithful attendant and supporter. He conditionally left to the church quite a large sum of money. He was married to Ann E. Randolph of Shiloh, N. J., whose death preceded his by twenty years. To them an only daughter, Esther Ann, was born. Later in life he was married to Mrs. Harriet Neher [his cousin Stephen Gray Greene's daughter] who with the daughter still survives him. Mr. Greene had often wished that the end of his life might come suddenly. On the morning of his death he started out to repair a broken fence. His delayed absence caused his family to seek him. The end had come as he wished. He was taken while at work.
The funeral services were held at the home in the presence of a large number of relatives and friends. The body was laid to rest in the Seventh-day Baptist Cemetery. J. E. H.

In Berlin, N. Y., April 17, 1891, of pneumonia, Ann E., wife of Charles Franklin Green, aged 65 years.
Sister Green was the daughter of John Randolph and was born in Shiloh, N. J. At the age of about sixteen years she was baptized by S. S. Griswold, into the fellowship of the Berlin Seventh-day Baptist Church, with which she remained a consistent member until she entered into her rest. For several years she had been in rather feeble health, but most of the time was able to be about the house and attend to her household duties, but seldom was able to meet in public worship on the Sabbath. About a week before her death she was seized with la grippe, which terminated in fatal pneumonia. She leaves a husband and daughter, one brother and two sisters, and a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn their loss. B. F. R."
