  Misc. Notes THE GREENE FAMILY18
  The South Bend, IN, Tribune, of recent date, in writing up the reunion of the Greene family at that place has the following, of interest to our readers.
  Best known among them today is Daniel Greene, who has lived at 403 South Lafayette street for nearly 46 years. His advanced years, for he is nearly 87 years of age, and his poor health do not prevent him enjoy ing life. Retired from great responsibilities and aggravation of active business he devotes himself to his family and friends and to carefully guarding his health. Mr. Greene is one of the most interesting of the city's prominent pioneers. Favored with an exceptionally clear and accurate memory and a good conversationalist, he can recount the events of early days in the country and city in a most entertaining way.

Mr. Greene spends most of his time at home. On pleasant days, his 87 years do not often prevent him walking out and frequently this summer, he has been a noticeable figure on the busy business streets.
  This being the 73rd anniversary of the arrival of the Greene family and one of the little colonies or companies of pioneers, locating on Sumption's Prairie, now Greene township. "I am quietly and thoughtfully observing the day, realizing that my time of service and usefulness is well nigh ended," said Mr. Greene to a representative of the Tribune.

  You ask me to tell the people, especially the younger people of this section something about its early people and settlement, something about my family, one of the first to settle southwest of this now magnificent city. Well, my parents, John Greene and Nancy Ann Jackson wer
