Obituary: Bluefield Daily Telegraph
GREEN HAGER GOES TO FINAL REWARD

Lifelong and Well Known resident of Mercer County had been members of church 
nearly sixty-eight years.
	Death claimed one of Mercer County's lifelong and best known residents 
yesterday, when Green Hager passed to his reward at 4 A.M. at his home, 1729 
East Princeton Ave.  Mr. Hager had been in failing health for some time, and 
for the last ten months had been bedfast.  His condition had been critical for 
the last six weeks and death had been expected for sometime.
	Mr. Hager was in his 86th year.  He was born only a mile or more 
distant from the Bluefield-Princeton gap, and had lived in this immediate 
section of Mercer county his entire life.  He was a valiant Confederate 
veteran and served the full four years of that conflict under Captain Hale.  
He was wounded in the Battle of Cloyd's Farm.	The deceased was possibly one 
of the best known citizens of Mercer County.  For four years, he served as 
county overseer of the poor and performed the duties well.  He was a kind 
hearted man, a Christian gentleman, and had the respect of every one who knew 
him.  He had been a consistent member of the Christian church since he was 
twenty years of age.
	When seventeen years old, he was married to Miss Nancy Wimmer of this 
county, and, to this union six children were born, five of whom survive.  His 
wife proceeded him to the grave eight years.  His living children are:  
Henderson B. and Samuel H. Hager, both of Littlesburg; B. J. Hager of Ada; 
Mrs. George Gray, of Bluefield, and Mrs. M. E. Coburn of Sand Lick.
	The funeral service will be held this afternoon at 1 o'clock at the 
New Hope church, conducted by Rev. John Wimmer.  Immediately following the 
services at the church, the remains will be taken to the home of Samuel H. 
Hager, near Littlesburg, where interment will be made in the family plot.
