The Lewisburg Independent give the following account of the injury and death of Rev Greene:

Rev S. H. Greene, of the Meth E Church, South, preacher in charge of the Blue Sulphur Circuit, met a shocking death Sunday night, the 8th, between 8 and 9 o'clock, while returning home at Asbury from an afternoon service at the gap of Muddy Creek mountain. Mr Green was driving a skittish horse, which, for some cause, became frightened when a few yards east of the cliff on the Blue Sulphur road and dashed off down the mountain. He ran the buggy against a telephone pole, breaking the singletree, upsetting the buggy and throwing Mr Green out and getting loose ran some distance before he was stopped by several young men who, recognizing the horse, went in search of the driver. Mr Green was lying in the road unconscious with a slight bruise on his forehead and his skull fractured from his eye several inches around on the side of his head. He soon died without recovering consciousness.

Mr Green had been quite sharp in rebuking some young men and threats had been made against him. This and other circumstances caused suspicion of foul play. The buggy appeared to have been struck with stones and a party suspected has since disappeared. A blood hound was gotten from Fayette county, but owing to the people on the ground could not strike a trail. The horse was bruised and scarred and its front teeth knocked out.

Mr Green was aged 28 and leaves a wife and two children. After a funeral service at Asbury by Revs Anderson, Meeks and Rudasill the body was taken to his old home at Fairview, Va, for interment, accompanied by Messrs Anderson, Meeks and Kincaid.
