The Belding Banner, Thursday, January 28, 1904
This morning the entire community was shocked to learn of the death of Mrs. L. 
E. Green, after an illness of only a few days, from that dread disease 
peritonitis.  All that human skill could do to combat the inroads of that 
fatal malady was done, but she grew rapidly worse from the first and at 6:30 
this morning she passed to her rest, having been sick but five days.

Cora Dillenbeck was joined in marriage to Lorenzo E. Green of this city, about 
ten years ago and have resided here most of the time.  She was a much loved 
member of the Rathbone Sisters, and an ardent worker in the interests of that 
lodge, she was also a member of the Ladies Social Circle and Ladies Literary 
Exchange and greatly loved by all who knew her.

She was only 32 years of age and the blow falls hard upon her young companion 
who was so devoted to her.

There will be a short funeral service at the house Saturday morning, after 
which the remains will be taken to Saranac for burial, by the side of a sister 
who has preceded her to the great beyond.

Besides her grief stricken husband, she leaves an aged father and mother and 
two brothers who will greatly miss the happy daughter and sister.

Friend after friend departs
Who has not lost a friend?
There is no union here of hearts
That hath not here an end.

Brief and impressive services were held at the late residence of Mrs. L. E. 
Green this morning, Rev. J. E. Butler conducting the service, who grave a most 
excellent address and spoke words of comfort and consolation to the sorrowing 
hearts of those near and dear to the deceased.

Mrs. J. E. Ferguson, Florence Wagner, Dr. Sheldon and John Wagner, composed 
the choir, they sang “Heart Be Still” and “My Faith Looks up to Thee.”  There 
were many members of the Rathbone Sisters order present, also brothers of the 
Knight of Pythias.

The floral tributes were many and very beautiful.  Her remains were taken to 
the old home cemetery near Saranac where they were tenderly laid to rest.
