"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 62, No 10, p 157, Mar. 5, 1906.
Wells Lee Green, the oldest child of Deacon Wells K. and Maria Ann Green, was born in Hounsfield, Jefferson Co., N. Y., April 30, 1833, and died at North Loup, Neb., January 30, 1906.
When about eighteen years of age, under the preaching of Elder Alexander Campbell, he was baptized, and became a member of the Hounsfield Seventh-day Baptist Church. On Oct 18, 1855, he was married to Lois Lucretta Davis. The same autumn, they moved to Illinois. They afterward lived eight years in Walworth, Wis., and fourteen years in Carlston, Minn. They came to North Loup in 1877, and at once became identified with the North Loup Seventh-day Baptist Church, where he was holding his membership at the time of his death. Brother and sister Green were the parents of six children; three sons survive, and with their mother, and a large number of near relatives, mourn the loss of the deceased. Brother Green was of a quiet, rather retiring disposition, but he loved the house of God and its services, and his regular and punctual occupancy of his accustomed place will be greatly missed by us who are left. He had been a very strong man, but for the past few months his friends had observed a rapid decline in health, which resulted in a paralytic stroke on the morning of January 14, 1906. Funeral services were held at the church, January 31, conducted by his pastor, Rev. M. B. Kelly. M. B. K.
