B. C. McBride, Feb. 27, 1840. By this union they were blessed with 13 children 9 boys and 4 girls; eight are now living. Anna, his first wife, died in 1873. Silas and Carroll, his two eldest boys died in the Civil War of 1860 to '64. He joined the Baptist church at Meat Camp when quite young and lived a consistent christian life up to his death. About the year 1875 he was married to widow Peggy Norris. She, as well as his first wife, was an agreeable companion. She won the love and respect of all his children. He was an honest, hard-working man and made a good living in his day. He never made a deby but what he paid it, and died without owing one cent. He was the youngest son of Isaac Green, better known as "Flatty" Green. He had 10 brothers and sisters, all of whom he survived except one sister. They all lived an average of 79 years. Father and mother are no more, but when we think of that rest God has prepared for them that love Him, our hearts swell with joy to think we will meet them again where sorrow is no more. The last days of his life were spent in getting ready to for the summons. He was not surprised when it came, he said, "David this is what I have been looking for a long time." God gave him grace to meet the awful hour we all have to meet. Rejoicing, his prayer was "Lord have mercy on my children." May God grant it, may we all meet father and mother at the river of death, and may we be home to that rest that awaits the children of God. DAVID GREEN.
