December 19, 1959) at the Nelson Nursing home where he had been a patient the past month. He had been in failing health for some time. GREEN was the oldest businessman in Fairfield when he retired and closed his shop in 1957. He owned and operated the Browning studio located over the Johnson-Peasley drug store on the north-west corner of the square. He started working in the photo shop when the family moved to Fairfield in 1889, and remained with it until it was closed. He became the sole owner of the business in 1926. At the time of his retirement he was the only businessman in town who had watched every place of business change hands at least once. Last rites will be Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. at the Weston Behner funeral home with Dr. J. Henry Teele in charge. Burial will be in Evergreen cemetery.

He was born near Perlee, then a thriving mining community. When Delzell was quite young his father quit the mercanitle business in Perlee and the family moved to Bloomfield. They then moved to Brighton for a time, and in 1889 they came to Fairfield and bought the studio which had been located in the same place since the building was erected about 10 years earlier. GREEN's father purchased the studio from a man by the name of SUNDERLAND. Delzell worked at the studio after school, and upon graduation gave full time to his work. A year or two later his father sold the business to J.B. MYERS, but Delzell remained as an employee. Six years later MYERS sold the studio to J.G. BROWNING, Delzell still remaining with the firm. BROWNING suffered a stroke in 1917 and GREEN took over the business. Four years later he purchased a half-interest in the business and became its sole owner in 1926, He was associated with the same firm, first as an employee and later as owner, for 68 years. Delzell GREEN was united in marriage to Maude GIFT, daughter of Charles GIFT, one-time county treasurer, in 1889. She passed away Dec. 9, 1943. The family home is located at 502 W. Broadway."
