F. A. Green, a member
of Company F., of the 8th Texas Terry Rangers, died at his home
near Vienna, Lavaca county, the 20th of this month of pneumonia. Mr. Green
was one among the bravest and best of soldiers, true to his friends. The members
of this old regiment will be sorry to hear of his demise. He leaves a wife
and two dear little children and an aged father to mourn the loss of a husband,
father and son. but a few weeks ago we saw him; he was then a perfect picture
of health, a nobel specimen of manhood. May God in his infinite mercy and
goodness temper the sorrow of the bereaved.
