ANDREW MARTIN GREEN

Died at the residence of his father, Andrew Green, 2308 Fifth avenue,
about 9 o'clock last evening, from pulmonary disease.  He was born,
January 13, 1863.  In early manhood he graduated both in dentistry and
medicine, but for the past ten years had not followed either
profession, being engaged as a real estate dealer and banker in
Washington, D.C.  Some three years since his health showed signs of
failing and in October, 1898, he sought relief in the milder climate
of Los Angeles, Cal.  Here temporary improvement took place, but,
health again failing, he purchased a ranch in Arizona, opening and
becoming superintendent of a sanatarium at Fort Huachuca, Arizona.
From this point he went to Tombstone, in the same territory, and later
returned to die amid his native mountains.  He is survived by his
father, Andrew Green.  His mother, two wives and four children having
preceding him to the grave.  Three sisters, Mrs. T. A. Logan, of
Wilkinsburg, Maud and Nellie at home, also survive.  Two brothers,
Grant, chief yeoman on the U.S. cruiser Prairie, and Sanford, chief
engineer of the U.S. ship Fishhawk, are also still living.  The
funeral services will be held at the house, 2308 Fifth avenue, at 2
o'clock on Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. G. M. Hoke, of the
Simpson Methodist church.  Interment in Fairview cemetery.
