Howard Green

Grave of Howard Green
Now that it's back upright again, I thought it might be a good time to take a look at the gravestone of Howard Green and establish his place in the Green family. As it turns out, Howard was the grandson of the John and Mary Green who were the first immigrant couple I found in the cemetery. Howard's father was John and Mary's son John Green, and his mother was Fannie L. Brundage, daughter of Merritt and Alvira Brundage. This is their family tree, with the people who are buried in the cemetery in green:
  1. John Green (1814-1896) m. Mary (1816-1901)
    1. Alice Green (1847-)
    2. Elizabeth Green (1852-)
    3. Flora Green (1855-1860)
    4. John Green (1856-before 1920) m. Fannie L. Brundage (1861-after 1940)
      1. Howard Green (1883-1884)
      2. Mabel Green  (1887-after 1940)
      3. Lillian Green (1890-after 1940)
    5. Anna Green (1857-)
    6. Selena Green (1861-)
Sadly, Howard Green died at the age of one year. His two sisters, Mabel and Lillian, didn't marry, but lived in their family home as adults and worked as teachers. They and their mother Fannie were all living in 1940.
