“Obituary of J.L. Green---J.L. Green was born March 24, 1844 in Cherokee County, N.C., and grew up to manhood in the neighborhood of Beech Creek. In his early days he professed Christ and joined the Baptist church. In 1867 he married Mary J. McNabb, and they together built one of our old-fashioned, Christian homes, where Christ is exalted above everything else. To this union was born 14 children, 13 of whom are living. Brother Green was a man of fine Christian character. In 1894 he left Cherokee County and moved to Monroe County, where he lived the rest of his eventful life and reared his family to be useful men and women. His boys all hold good positions and his girls married very well. Mrs. Green died 20 years ago and he made his home most of the time since with Mrs. Wes Hall, who cared for him with all the love and attention that could be given a father. He died April 17, 1927, being 83 years and 22 days old. The funeral was conducted by Rev. A.F. Mahan and Rev. T.A. Nelson, in the presence of a great number of friends at the Tellico Plains Baptist Church, where his membership had been for many years.”---Rev. T.A. Nelson.
