ALGIE DANIEL GREEN

  Algie Daniel Green, well-known and highly esteemed citizen of Salisbury, died 
at his home on West Ord Street, April 3, 1943, at the age of 67 years, 8 months 
and 5 days, after being confined to his room, and most of the time in bed, for 
exactly a month.  His death was caused by coronary thrombosis, a form of heart 
disease.
  He was born near Somerfield, July 28, 1875, and was a son of Thomas and Mary 
Bowser Green.  He is survived by his wife, Lydia Handwerk Green, and by two 
daughters, namely, Edith, wife of Roy Markwell, and Eleanor Ruth, both at home.  
The husband of the first named daughter is a soldier in the U.S. Army.
  He is also survived by one grandchild, Joyce Ann Markwell, and by these 
brothers and sisters: David W. Green of Sikesville, Md., Joseph E., Charles H., 
Willis O., and Edward L. Green of Somerfield; Gilbert T. Green of Grantsville, 
Md., and Noah L. Green of Uniontown.  Miss Susan Green of Confluence; Mrs. Laura 
Schlosnagle of Baltimore, Md., and Miss Verta Green of Ligonier.
  By the death of Mr. Green, Salisbury has lost a very exemplary citizen.  He 
was honest, industrious, kind and unassuming, and of good clean habits.  He was 
a kind, devoted husband, and a loving father.  He always worked at whatever 
honorable work he could find to do, and during the school terms he served as 
janitor at the local high school building for the past eight years, until a 
month before he died.  On the third of March, while on the way to the school 
building, at an early hour in the morning, he was overcome by a heart attack, 
and fell to the sidewalk unconscious.  He rallied from that, and also from a 
similar attack the same morning.  After that he seemed to be making progress 
toward recovery in some respects, but was unable to regain sufficient strength 
to become well again.
  Funeral services were conducted at the family home at 2:30 p.m., Tuesday, by 
Rev. Ira S. Monn, pastor of the Evangelical and Reformed Church.  The funeral 
was well attended, and many called at home to extend their sympathy to the 
bereaved family, and to pay their last respects to one who commanded the respect 
of all who knew him.  The floral tributes were beautiful.
  Burial was in the I.O.O.F. Cemetery, under the direction of Stanley M. Thomas, 
local mortician.
