The Marietta Journal/Issue of December 12, 1873

DEATH OF JUDGE N. B. GREEN
Judge Napoleon B. Green, an old and esteemed citizen, died at his residence in 
this city last Monday evening, with the brain fever.  Before the war he 
represented this county several times in the Georgia Legislature, proving 
efficient in all the duties appertaining thereto.  He was a man that took a 
prominent part in all public affairs, was energetic and of considerable legal 
ability.  Marietta in his demise has lost a valuable citizen and we tender to 
his family and relatives our sincere condolence in this dark hour of their 
bereavement and gloom.  He was buried with Masonic honors.
