Jackson Sentinel, Jan. 4, 1894


    Jackson Sentinel, Jan. 4, 1894

    James Green, the early settler at Iron Hill, passed away Christmas morning
at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Wright, in Dubuque. Mr. Green was born near
Jamestown, Virginia, but when a small boy, moved with his father's family to
Licking County, Ohio, where he grew to manhood. He was one of the early "49ers"
who crossed the plains to the gold fields of California, returning in 1852 and
settling in Jackson County where he has since lived, until the last few years
which time he has spent living with his children. He was a direct descendant of
the famous Nathaniel Green of Revolutionary War fame. All the old settlers of
the county remember him as one of the chief promoters of the vigilantes, who so
successfully, put to an end after hanging two of the leaders, the nefarious work
of the murderous gang that infested the Big Woods in the early settlement of the
county.

    All who knew him will mourn his loss for he was generous to a fault, ever
ready to lend a helping hand to those in need, kind to all and loyal and
enthusiastic in that which he believed to be right. His health had been failing
for eight years, but previous to this was known for his rugged manhood and great
strength. The immediate cause of his death was heart failure resulting from la
grippe.He would have been seventy-five years old in February.
