His first wife was a daughter of John L Thompson, deceased, once a merchant in Princeton. His widow is a daughter of Chief Justice mercer Beasley, of the Supreme Court of the State. He was a brother of the learned Rev. William Henry Green, DD of the Princeton Theological Seminary, and was a nephew of the late Chancellor Green.

JUDGE GREEN AT REST
Funeral of the Late Distinguished Supreme Court Judge
NOTABLY EMINENT ATTENDANCE
The Rev. Dr. Dixon, of the Presbyterian Church, Officiates at the Last Sad Rites, Eulogizes the Deceased in Plain and Simple Words Surrounded by Family and Friends -- the Remains Taken to Riverview for Interment -- Those present.
The funeral of Edward T Green, late judge of the United States District Court, took place from his former residence, 23? West State street, this morning at 11 o'clock and was noticeable for the large number of distinguished personages present. Men of note in the nation at large vied with those of the judge's friends in the more humble walks of life in paying homage to the memory of the distinguished and learned man, now gone.
Some little time before the hour set for the services, the house was well filled, and by the arrive of the Mercer county bar representation, was quite crowded. The casket was situated a little in front of the mantle in the back parlor and many viewed the remains, which were very life-like in their appearance. Upon the mantlepiece rested a trio of floral pieces composed principally of white roses. On the casket itself was a large wreath of green.
The services were conducted by the Rev. John Dixon, DD, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, of which Judge Green was a prominent member. They were simple in the extreme and consisted in reading of a passage from the Holy Scriptures, a short address, a prayer and the benediction.
Dr Dixon referred to the recent death of the Hon. Barker Gummere and said that upon Mr Gummere and Judge Green he had principally learned. In his prayer the talented ecclesiastic petitioned that "men, through grace, be reared up to take the place of those distinguished and learned who have left us."
In the course of Dr Dixon's remarks he referred feelingly to the fact that but one week ago today the judge was performing his regular duties at the court. He spoke of the connection of Mr Green with the John C Green Foundation at Lawrenceville, where he was a trustee, of his connection with the great educational institutions at Princeton, and of the fact that he was a trustee selected by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of the whole United States. He served in all these positions faithfully, the speaker said, in addition to the loyal work he did in his own church, because he truly believed that "God is Love."
The interment was at Riverview cemetery, at the convenience of the family. The pall bearers were selected from the nearest relatives of the late Judge, and were his cousins, Charles E Green and Elmer E Green, his son, Dr Walter D Green of Philadelphia, and his son-in-law, Coleman E Kissam,of Orange; his nephews, George S G Lewis of this city, and Henry G Duffield,of Princeton.
Among those at the house, among the near relatives of the family, were, in addition to the pall bearers mentioned, Chief Justice Mercer Beasley, Justice of the Supreme Court Wiliam S Gummere and former Judge Chauncy H Beasley.
