His Suffering Is Ended∼Wm. John Green of This City Passed Way Last Friday Morning After a Lingering Ilnless of Several Months∼Was An Old TIme Resident of This State and Well Known Throughout Beaverhead County -- A Son-In-Law of W. H. Pine -- Funeral Services Held Sunday Afternoon From the Episcopal Church∼The death of William John Green, which occurred Friday morning, at 9:15 a.m., at the home of his father-in-law, W. H. Pine, came with the shock that the dread visitation, even if not wholly unexpected, always brings, and the announcement that "Johnny" Green was no more brought sadness to many a heart.
For several yeas past his health had been gradually declining that inexorable malady, Bright's disease, slowly sapped his strength and made its inroads upon a constitution naturally strong. Arsenical poisoning resulting from work in one of the Butte smelters is supposed to have induced the fatal disease.
For six months past he has been more or less confined to his bed, almost a constant sufferer, during which time his devoted wife ministered tenderly and unremittingly to his wants. All that careful nursing and medical attention could do to ease and relieve the patient sufferer was done for him, but on Friday morning came the summons that freed him from all earthly pain.
The Modern Woodmen of America, in which the deceased was enrolled, took charge of all arrangements, and the funeral services was read Sunday afternoon by the Reverend S. D. Hooker at the Episcopal church, of which the deceased had been a life-long communicant. A mass of beautiful floral offerings testified with sweet eloquence the love and esteem of his many friends. Interment was made at Mountain View cemetery, a long procession of carriages accompanying the funeral cortege.
William John Green was born in Cornwall, England, in 1849, being in his thirty-seventh year at the time of his death. With many others, his parents resolved to seek fortune in the great land beyond the seas and came to this country when their son was but three years of age. After living for eight years in Michigan, the family came to Butte, where they have resided ever since.
The young boy decided to become a brick mason. He learned his trade in Butte, where he worked at it, being largely employed around the smelters. He was a prominent member of the Stone Masons and Bricklayers Union of Butte. In 1891 he was happily married to Miss Lucie Pine, the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Pine. Nine children blessed the marriage, of whom four survive, two daughters, Ada and Jennie, and two sons, William and George. Besides these members of his immediate family, there remain to mourn his memory his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Green of Butte, and his sister, Mrs. E. A. Ford of Walkerville.
Mr. Green was a popular man, well liked by his associates and employees. All have a good word to speak of him. Besides being a member of his trade union, he belonged to two fraternal orders, in which both of which he was insured, the Modern Woodmen of America, and the Ancient Order of United Workmen.
In the family circle his loss is irreparable. Nothing can replace the care and devotion of the departed husband and father: to the grief-stricken widow and bereaved children the heart of the community goes out in tender sympathy.
