Lovina H. Green, the youngest in a family of three girls and four boys of Whitford and Freelove Williams Green, was born April 5, 1843, in Watson, N. Y.
She spent her young girlhood in the place of her birth, and here she made the great decision to live for Christ, and was accordingly, baptized, joining the Watson Seventh Day Baptist Church.
She was married to George Arnold Green, July 11, 1861, and soon afterward came to live with him in Verona. After spending a short time working on the Erie Canal, Mr. Green responded to the call of his country and enlisted in the War of the Rebellion, thus leaving his young bride in loneliness during those anxious days of civil strife. The days of peace came and the young soldier returned to his home and to his bride. In 1874, she transferred her membership to the Verona Seventh Day Baptist Church, where she has remained a loyal servant of Jesus and his church.
Two children, Mrs. Emma Herrig, and Grace, came to brighten this home. These daughters have had the joy of caring for the aged mother, exercising tender watchfulness during the sunset years.
After only a short spell of illness, she quietly fell into her last sleep Wednesday night, December 19, 1923.
A large congregation gathered at the church Sabbath afternoon at one o'clock for the farewell service. T. J. V. H.
