Obituary of Dr. Christopher Columbus Green, taken from the Carmi Courier, June 13, 1889. The remains of Dr. C.C. Green, of Norris City, who died at his home in that place on Friday last, of apoplexy, were brought to the family graveyard at the old home farm now owned by his son, W. N. Green, on last Saturday for interment, followed by a vast concourse of friends and relatives, A short funeral service was held and there was scarcely a dry cheek in that vast audience as Rev. McQuay briefly but touchingly referred to the Doctor's past life. Deceased was one of the few who do not live for self alone, and was always ready to shake the hand of a friend and give him a word of encouragement, always jovial and sociable, ready to lend a helping hand to those in need, thus making the world all the better for his having lived in it, he had ever advocated the cause of the poor man, hence was virtually without enemies. The writer extends his heart felt sympathy to the bereaved family.
