Death of a Distinguished Confederate-At 8 o’clock Saturday evening, at his 
residence No. 129 Boush Street, Col. John S. Green, a cousin of the late Col. 
Turner Ashby, and brother-in-law of Tazewell Taylor, a distinguished 
Confederate soldier, who has been an honored citizen of Norfolk for some years 
past, passed away from earth in the seventy-fourth year of his age. The 
deceased was a native of Rappahannock County, where he resided on his farm 
until failing health induced his removal to Norfolk. During the late war he 
was a member of the Sixth Virginia Regiment of Cavalry, rising its command, 
where he displayed eminent courage and ability. He was twice wounded, and was 
at one time a prisoner, but never missed a battle in which his command was 
engaged. The funeral took place today at 11 a.m. from Christ P.E. Church, and 
was largely attended by relatives and friends and Pickett-Buchanan Camp of 
Confederate Veterans, of which in life he was a member. The solemn services 
were conducted by Rev. O.S. Barten, the rector, and at their conclusion the 
remains were conveyed to Elmwood Cemetery, where they were interred. The 
following gentlemen acted as pall-bearers: Col. E.M. Henry, Major D. 
Humphreys, Samuel P. Moore, Esq., Capt. B.P. Loyall, Dr. E.H. Poindexter and 
Major John H. Core.
