Published in Holmes County Advertiser, Bonifay, Florida, Friday, May 21, 1915 Death of Mrs. Sarah Green Entire Community Shocked When news Became Known. Interment In Euchee Valley The hearts of many people were shocked and saddened early last Sunday evening when the news was given out that Mr. Sarah Green had died very suddenly at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. B. Hammond, in this city. Mrs. Green came to Bonifay on Saturday afternoon to visit her children and to attend services at the Presbyterian church which she did at the 11:00 o'clock hour. After the service she went to the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. B. Hammond, where she partook of the usual noon meal. About three o'clock preparations were being made for her return home to Darlington. She had gone to place some things in the automobile, while her daughter was in the yard gathering some of her favorite flowers which she wished to take along. As they were returning into the house she became faint and was assisted to bed and medical aid was immediately summoned. Her condition was not considered serious as she was soon able to tale freely with those about her, but about seven o'clock she appeared slightly nauseated and raised up to vomit and without a moments notice or warning of as to her true condition fell back dead, the way she had often expressed the wish that she might pass out. On Monday afternoon the remains were taken to Euchee Valley cemetery by auto, followed by several other cars taking relatives and friends from Bonifay. At the cemetery a large crowd had already gathered from all sections of the country to pay a last sad tribute to the memory of the deceased. The services were conducted in the church by Rev. R. Q. Baker, a life-long friend and pastor, assisted by Revs J. W. West and J. W. Register. Appropriate hymns were beautifully rendered by a quartet composed of Mrs. Nannie Sowell, Miss May Vick Boyle, Judge A. G. Campbell and Mr. Burdick. The many and beautiful floral designs attested in a small way the great esteem at which she was held. Deceased had reached the age of 72, having been born in Euchee Valley in 1843. Her parents and grandparents were among the first white settlers in the Euchee Valley community, having settled there while Florida was but a territory. Deceased is survived by five sons and two daughters, W. S. Green, of Argyle, D. L. Green, of this city, M. G. Green and H. L. Green, of Ponce de Leon, Angus Green of Darlington, Mrs. M. M Owens and Mrs. W. B. Hammond, of his city, also seven brothers and two sisters, Chas. Douglass, of Westville, D. D. Douglass, of Pensacola, Angus Douglass, of Ponce de Leon, John Douglass, of Argyle, H. A. Douglass of DeFuniak Springs, Ed Douglass of Freeport, W. M. Douglass, of Laurel Hill, Mrs. Jas. McLean, of DeFuniak Springs and Mrs. J. l. Campbell, of Chipley. Mrs. Green was a most devoted member of the Presbyterian church (line missing on page) ing and lovable attributes of her sex. None ever entered her home without a warm welcome nor left without feeling the warmth of a genuine hospitality, so characteristic of the people of her ancestry. Truly, her mortal career was closed with the fitting inscription "Well done, thou good and faithful servant." The heartfelt sympathy of the entire community it extended the bereaved family, their great grief is in the common grief of every citizen of this section. (Transcibed by Mona Spears, March 1999)
