Mr. and Mrs. Greene moved to Dakoto county, Minn., in 1858, where they lived until 1888 when they moved to Grangeville, Idaho. In 1910 they came to Cheney to make their home with their daughter, Mrs. F.C. Green. Here in 1911 Mr. Greene died. Mrs. Greene was converted in early life and united with the Methodist church of which body she remained a faithful member to the end of her life.
