Mr. Green was widely known in the county, and served a number of years as a peace officer. He served several years as a member of the Spindale Police force and deputy sheriff, resigning there about eighteen months ago. Since that time he had been engaged in farming near Tanner's Grove church. He had apparently been in good health, but was taken to the Rutherford hospital Tuesday morning for treatment for a supposed slight ailment, and died there Wednesday morning. Funeral services and interment will probably take place at Tanner's Grove Methodist church Thursday (today.)
