The Late James Henry Green

There passed away at the residence of his son Bruce, who lives on Sydenham street, Tuesday afternoon, a man well and favorably known throughout the whole of Norfolk County, in the person of James Henry Green.

The late Mr. Green was in his 66th year and came to his death from the effects of a paralytic stroke. Since the death of his sister, Mrs. Mary Ann Drake, a couple of months ago, he has continued his residence on the little farm at Cornell, where they had lived together for the past few years.

He had been in fairly good health recently, but on Friday last suffered a slight stroke, whereby he lost the use of his left arm. His son Bruce went out from Simcoe and brought him to his home here. He was given every care and seemed to be doing fairly well until Sunday, when he lost control of other parts of his body. Even after this he was able to sit up, but about 3:30 Tuesday afternoon he passed beyond human aid, with his family all about him.

The late Mr. Green was born in the Township of Windham on a farm about a mile south of Lynnville, and when quite a young man took over the hotel at Port Ryerse, which he conducted continuously for thirteen years.

About the same number of years ago he left Port Ryerse and went to Lynnville, where he kept the temperance house for three years. Later he left the hotel business and took to farming in Walsingham Township, from which place he moved to Cornell.

The deceased was a member of the Baptist church and belonged to the Canadian Order of Foresters, under whose auspices the funeral will be conducted this afternoon at one o'clock, Rev. Mr. Newcombe taking charge of the services. Interment will be made at Lynnville cemetery.

Deceased leaves to mourn his loss three sons and three grandchildren. The sons are Bruce and Christopher of Simcoe, and Wilmot of Hamilton.
