ALLEN J. GREEN, Died 17 Nov 1900.

A. J. Green died at his home Saturday morning, Nov. 17, 
1900, aged 54 years.  About a year ago Mr. Green was 
obliged to give up business on account of failing 
health.  In company with his wife he spent a few weeks 
during the summer at Mt. Clemens, Michigan, receiving 
but little benefit.  Everything that could be was done 
by his physicians, but it was too late, the disease was 
slowly but surely doing its work.  The past few weeks he 
failed rapidly until death closed his eyes to all 
earthly scenes.  He leaves a wife, sisters and brothers 
this side of the mystic river.  Funeral took place from 
the home Monday at one o'clock, p.m., Rev. Ratzell 
officiating.  Frank Parker, funeral director.  Interment 
in Green Lawn.  Fred Green and son, of Columbus, Ohio, 
also a sister from Ohio, and Mrs. Herbert, of Kansas, 
another sister, were here to attend the funeral of their 
brother.  A. J. Green enlisted in 1863, in Company B, 
12th Indiana cavalry and served until the close of the 
war.  The later years of his life he was an extensive 
stock buyer, and was well known in this and adjoining 
counties.  Another soldier boy who wore the blue has 
been mustered out, making the fourth one in a little 
over a year in Orland who have gone to their silent, 
curtainless tent, to awaken only at the bugle call of 
the great commander.  Not many years hence the last 
soldier boy of the sixties will be gone, never to 
return.
A. J. Green is listed as Allen Green in the Civil War 
listings on the Steuben County website.
