  Quincy DeForest Greene was born in Adams Center, N. Y., June 25, 1840, and died in Alfred, July 28, 1931.
  He was the youngest son of Thomas H. and Ann Sweet Greene.   His two brothers, O. DeGrass and L. DeEsting, died some ten years ago.   In January, 1861, he married Josephine A. Maxson, to whom were born five children: Fay D., of Unadilla Forks, N. Y.; Mrs. Phil S. Place and Amy L. Greene, of Alfred, N. Y.; Mrs. Clifford H. Coon, of Garden City, L. I., and Marian Claire, who died February 19, 1919.
  Until the fall of 1888 he lived in Adams Center.   At that time he bought a home in Alfred, where he lived until Mrs. Greene was taken, June 5, 1907.   Since that time his home has been in Albany and Brooklyn with the daughters Amy and Marian, until in November, 1929, he, with his daughter Amy, came to Alfred again to make it their home.
  In early life Mr. Greene united with the Adams Center Seventh Day Baptist Church, where he kept his membership all his years.   He loved the church, its services, and all that it stood for, and was faithful in attendance until a week before his death.
  Besides his children, he is survived by six grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren.
  Funeral services were conducted by A. Clyde Ehret, and from the Adams Center church by Loyal F. Hurley.   Burial was in the Adams Center cemetery.     A. C. E.

  Josephine Maxson Greene, the eldest of six children born to Silas and Margaret Whitford Maxson, was born in Adams, N. Y., June 11, 1842, and died at her home in Alfred, N. Y., June 5, 1907.
  She was baptized in young womanhood and became a member of the Adams Center Seventh-day Baptist church, to which she has been loyally faithful ever since.   She was married to De Forest Greene in January, 1861, and they removed to Adams Center, over thirty years ago.   Their five children survive to be a comfort to their father.
  Mrs. Greene's health has not been good during the eight years of residence in Alfred, but in earlier years, when her strength permitted, her life was a very busy one.   When her children were small, in addition to the care of her home, she drove seven miles to church and choir practice each week, being organist for about twenty years.
  She was queen of her home, and "her children rise up and call her blessed."   There was a strong family affection in the home of which she was the center.   She was a woman of strong convictions, great faith in the Bible and prayer.   Funeral services were conducted at the home, June 8, by Pastor Randolph.     L.
