At his home in Greene Settlement, near Adams Centre, N. Y., Jan. 9, 1907, Mr. Eugene D. Greene, in the fifty-seventh year of his age.
Brother Greene was born upon the farm where he died, and had spent his entire life in the immediate vicinity. April 23, 1870, he was baptized into the fellowship of the Seventh-day Baptist church at Adams Centre, and remained a faithful member of the church till his earthly journey was finished. On Nov. 28, 1870, on the birthday of his bride, he was united in marriage with Miss Emogene Langworthy, who was also baptized on the same day as himself. This union resulted in the birth of two sons, De Chois and Paul, and two daughters, Mrs. Clayton Langworthy and Mrs. Clarke Stoodley, all of whom were present at the funeral.
As he neared the better shore, he said to his weeping companion, "I am going home - home, home," showing his faith in his Savior and the longings of his wearied spirit. The funeral was held at his late home and was attended by a large number of relatives and neighbors. Besides his four children, he leaves to mourn their loss, his devoted wife, a brother, two sisters and a wide circle of immediate relatives. The funeral was conducted by his pastor; sermon from John 11: 23.

Imogene Greene, daughter of Morris and Marguerite Langworthy, was born in Verona, N. Y., Nov. 28, 1852, and died at the home of her son, DeChoice Greene, in Adams Center, in the early morning of November 12, 1913.
In early womanhood she came with her father's family to this township. She was converted and united with the Adams Center Seventh Day Baptist Church April 23, 1870. On November 28 of the same year she was married to Eugene D. Greene, who began with her the Christian life, having united with the church the same day with her. They lived together their life of faith and toil. Mr. Greene passed on to the other world nearly seven years ago after having endured much suffering for many years. There were born four children to this union, all of whom have spent most of their lives near to mother and were present to mingle their tears as the mother was laid away. Did I say laid away? - no, not the mother, but the tenement of clay in which they had known the mother.
Hers was a life of toil, but not for self alone. Filled with interest for others, she toiled on to the limit of her strength in their behalf. Possessed of a hopeful disposition, she was a stranger to the blues, so far as others know. During the last years of her life she spent most of her time among her children and they bear cheerful testimony to her thoughtful helpfulness.
In her death the family have lost a loving, self-sacrificing mother; the church a loyal devoted member; the community a tender-hearted, sympathizing friend, one who, in no small sense, was touched with the feeling of their infirmities, always having in use the cloak of charity.
She leaves besides the family of children, a brother, Caleb Langworthy, of Adams Center, and a host of friends.
Burial services were had from the home of DeChoice Greene, November 14, conducted by Pastor E. A. Witter. E. A. W.
