Notes for Frank J. GREENE
"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 92, No 6, p 191, Feb. 6, 1922.
In Berlin, N. Y., January 8, 1922, Mr. Frank J. Greene, aged 57 years, 5 months and 19 days.
Brother Greene was the son of William P. and Caroline (Lamphier) Greene. He was born in the town of Berlin, N. Y., July 20, 1864. He was converted and united with the Berlin Seventh Day Baptist Church September 24, 1881. He was called to the clerkship of the church November 30, 1888, and to the deaconship of the church June 4, 1897. He served in both these capacities with honor and faithfulness till called home. He was married to Miss Ida Lewis, of Berlin, N. Y., March 4, 1886. To this union were born three sons, one of whom, Frank J., Jr., passed on in 1914.
His words spoken at the time he was chosen as deacon are very characteristic of the man in all his relations in life. He said, "I feel very unworthy to fill the office; but am willing to try to do the best I can since the voice of the church, in this matter, should be, and is, the voice of God."
The church has lost a valuable counselor and faithful worker; the community a faithful and sympathizing friend, and the home a loving and thoughtful father and husband.
He leaves a wife, two sons and their families, besides a sister and a host of friends and relatives to mourn their loss.
Farewell services were held from the church the afternoon of January 19, conducted by the pastor, Rev. E. Adelbert Witter, who spoke from Proverbs 23: 7.
He was in his various relations of life what he was, because he purposed in his heart to try and do the best he could as a man among men and as a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ. E. A. W.
