M. L. Green, of the eastern part of the city, died last evening at 8:45 o'clock. after a lingering illness of about seven weeks. Death was due to an abscess of the lungs. The funeral will take place from the family residence tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock, under the auspices of the local Masonic order, and the service will be conducted by Rev. J. N. Hartley of the Baptist church. The burial will take place at the city cemetery.
This sad misfortune removes from the city of Paragould a good citizen, one who enjoyed a large circle of friends, and it is with a feeling of sincere sorrow and sympathy for the bereaved family that the Soliphone chronicles the death to its circle of readers.
The deceased was fifty-four years of age and had been a resident of Paragould many years. He was a member of the local Baptist church, devoted to his duties as a Christian gentlemen, and was a member in hgh standing of the Masonic, Macabees and Woodmen lodges. He is survives by a wife and four sons, and two brothers--Morgan Green, of McKenzie, Tennessee, and T. M. Green, of Lebanon, Tennessee. The latter brother arrived here this morning and the other one is expected tonight.
Mr. Green was a kind hearted and conscientious gentleman, veryattentive to his business duties, and was not one who faltered in his convictions to do right. He was a kind and devoted member of his household and his demise inflicts profound grief and sorrow upon those of the family circle who are left to mourn the loss, and we are joined by the citizens in general in extending sympathy to the bereaved ones.
