Notes for Amos GREENE
"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 41, No 15, p 5, Apr. 9, 1885.
In Little Genesee, N. Y., March 25, 1885, Mr. Amos Green, in the 94th year of his age. He was a native of Rhode Island, from which State, about sixty years ago, he removed with his family to Nile, where he remained about two years, then moved to Genesee, settling on the farm which has since been his home. He was a brother of Eld Henry Green, of blessed memory, and grandfather of Eld. T. L. Gardiner, of Shiloh, N. J.
He experienced religion in early life. At the organization of the First Genesee Seventh-day Baptist Church in 1828, he with his wife became constituent members. He was the last of the original members to be called hence, having held his connection with the Church fifty-seven years. Although not so demonstrative in his religious activities as some, he lived a consistent life of quiet service, enjoying the confidence of his brethren and neighbors.
Owing to his advanced age and consequent feebleness, he has not, for some years, engaged in the activities of life; still he has enjoyed quite good health, even the last Summer being able to stroll over the premises in the immediate vicinity of the house. He had no apparent disease, but the vital forces gradually expended themselves until the spark of life went out.
The funeral services took place at the house, the residence of his son, Mr. Benj. F. Green, on Sabbath morning, March 28th, at 10 o'clock. Sermon from 1 Cor. 15: 54. G. W. B.
Notes for Esther A. (Spouse 1)
"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 19, No 5, p 19, Feb. 5, 1863.
In Little Genesee, N. Y., Dec. 13th, 1862, Mrs. Esther Green, wife of Amos Green, in the 73d year of her age. Meek and amiable in life, she illustrated the Christian character, and died trusting in Jesus. She had been for many years a member of the 1st Seventh-day Baptist Church of Genesee, and none doubted that she was worthy to dwell in the house of the Lord.
