The Richard Greene Family
Richard Greene, aged fifteen when he first traveled to the Ohio territory, moved with his parents, John and Mary Wickes Greene, to Newport in 1798. After marriage to Rebecca Lawton in 1813, they lived with his widowed mother in what is today the Greenwood home in Newport. He later built a cabin in the southeast corner of the original John Greene farm overlooking the Ohio River. This cabin was replaced by a beautiful home built around 1835-1840. The home is owned today by the Martin Family.

Not living for show, making no parade, but seeking to be and do what an honorable man and true Christian, as he was, should do and be. His life was a success. Though dead he yet speaks to us in the lives of his children, who, following Him who is the Way, and The Truth, and the Life.

MARIA HAYS
Newport -- Again death has entered our midst and borne from us another of our loved ones. Mrs. Maria Greene Hays, wife of the late Richard Hays, died at her home in Newport, Sunday evening, Jan 19th, after an illness of four days of pneumonia. Her death was unexpected by her family and friends. Mrs. Hays was an exceptionally kind friend to all about her, and devoted to her family who will never cease to mourn her loss, and always miss her loving companionship. For the way is long and the way is lone, / But our dear ones await us there, / Where pain and partings are things unknown. / And days are equal fair. Mrs. Hays was a member of the Methodist church for many years; a loving and faithful Christian, a living example of true piety, and especially attached to the church of her choice and religion. Mrs. Maria G. Hays was born in Newport, Nov. 6th 1821 and married to Richard Hays May 15th 1844, she survived her late husband three years, leaving a family of four children all of whom are married. Three of her children were with her at the time of her death, her daughter Mrs. T. I. McRa, wife of the Rev. T. I. McRa being absent at her home in Cumberland, O, and owing to the shortness of time of her mother's illness could not be with her. The community at large sympathize with the family in their great bereavement.
Mrs. Richard Hayes, a lady will advanced in years, living in Newport, this county, died suddenly of heart failure Monday night. She was the mother of P. G. and Harry Hayes, Mrs. T. I. McRa and Mrs. Dr. George Gale. The funeral will occur at Newport at two o'clock Tuesday afternoon.

Memoir of Maria G. Hays Newport, O.
Maria Greene Hays, daughter of Richard and Rebecca Lawton Greene was born Nov. 6, 1821 in Newport, O., and died Jan. 19, 1896, in the 74 years of her age. The family home was near the present residence of James B. Greene, Esq., her only surviving brother. There are three sisters who survive her viz: Mrs. Luther Dana, of Chicago, Ill.; Mrs. Harriet Pearce, of St. Paul, Minn., and Mrs. Dr. McClure of Marietta. The subject of this sketch was married to Richard Hays, May 15th, 1844, who preceded her to life beyond four years ago.
There were given to them four children, two sons - Preston G. and Harry R. - two daughters - Ella R., wife of Rev. T. I. McRa, of Cumberland, O., member of the East Ohio M. E. Conference, and Mira C., wife of Dr. George Gale, Newport, Ohio.
The departed was a woman of strong mental powers and of good heart and life. She was a thoughtful reader of good books and other literature. She enjoyed thoughts which were clothed in poetic forms of speech as found in our standard hymnals and in poetic verse as written elsewhere. She gave early attention to the call of God as her religious obligations, and at the age of 11 years (eleven) during a meeting held in the Old Brick School house near her late home, while she and Dorcas Dana were praying for each other, [they] were converted about the same place. Two years later she united with the M. E. Church of Newport, of which she continued a faithful member for more than 60 years.
Her last sickness was only about four days; having taken a heavy cold, It developed into pneumonia. The Last day of her life was one of sad yet touching interest. Her faculties of mind were quite clear. She greeted the men who lived on the farm and all her neighbors who came in, also the members of her own family and other kindred. The family was permitted to be present, excepting Rev. Mr. and Mrs. McRa, who did not get word in time to arrive before the departure of their blessed mother.
Mother Hays enjoyed the singing and other services held at her side by the former pastor and wife, who had known her so many years. Among her last words were "Jesus, the name that charms our fears; that bids our sorrows cease," etc., "There is a land of pure delight where saints immortal reign."
Thus on more of Newport's early residents has gone, leaving to us but a few more in all our community of her age. We are thankful, however, that we have embalmed in memory such men and women as the Greene, Greenwoods, Battelles, Danas, Fergusons, Bosworths, Reynolds, Littles, Adkins, Dr. Gale, Sr., and others, whose works do follow them.
The funeral services were held on Tuesday, at 2 P. M., at the late home of the deceased. They were conducted by the Rev. E. O. Morris, pastor of the M. E. Church, and Rev. B. E. Edgell, of the Pittsburgh Conference, a life-long friend of the family.
Richard Hays was born April 3d, 1810 [sic. 1820], at Newport, Ohio. He was the youngest of a family of ten children. But one of the number survive him, Thomas Hays, of Decatur, Illinois. He was married May 15th, 1844 to Maria Greene, of Newport. The first year of their married life was spent at Delaware, Ohio. They then returned to their native town and settled on the farm they afterwards bought. Mr. Hays was one of the most successful business men on this section of the Ohio River. He was always in advance of his community in improved methods of agriculture. He was of a kind and sympathetic disposition; and those who knew him best loved him most.
He was devoted to his family, and found his greatest earthly enjoyment around his own fireside. Owing to regular habits in life he was well preserved at the age of seventy-one years. But rheumatism overcame him early in last July, and his suffering was constant and intense till death came to his release. He was a regular attendant of the M. E. church of which he was a probationary member. The 2'd Psalm was a great comfort to him. He was attended during his last illness by his wife, children, and grand-children. There is something beautiful in the history of his quiet life. The farm on which he died was the one on which he was born, and the natural scenery he had known and loved from earliest boyhood was the last on which he looked. Thus ended a life of noble industry, which had in it all the elements that go to make up the true husband and father, neighbor and citizen. The funeral services were conducted by his pastor the Rev. B. E. Edgell. The wish had been expressed by him in his last sickness that but little be said concerning him in the brief service he wished held. But his pastor, who from early boyhood had known him, said he felt he must say in conclusion that no man could life the finger of reproach against Richard Hays.
"Mark the perfect man and behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace."

Melissa A. Wood:
Marietta Intelligencer January 23, 1861
Died of consumption, after a painful and lingering illness, on the 28th of December 1860. Mrs. Melissa A. Greene, wife of James B. Greene, of Newport, and daughter of Francis Wood, formerly of Harmar.
The deceased with an older sister, who died some time ago, in the spring of 1848, and at the early age of sixteen was hopefully converted, and with about a score of her associate Sabbath School scholars united with the Baptist Church of Marietta then under the pastoral care of Rev. L Corwin.
Her early Christian character, marked by more that the ordinary sobriety of those of her age, never partook of the austerity sometimes mistaken for true Christian gravity. With added years was a growth and development of the Christian spirit, alike removed from feigned cheerfulness, and the morose disguise of an unwilling servant, that ripened into a remarkably symmetrical Christian character, which has left a lasting impression in the entire community where she dwelt. The last few weeks of her life after the struggle which resulted in fully committing to God the care of two dear little children, and the patient waiting in cheerful anticipation of soon meeting the dearest friends. "O death where is thy sting! O grave where is thy victory!" Was an appropriate foundation for an interesting discourse from the servant of God who officiated at the funeral solemnities, Rev. Houston.
AN AGED SAINT ENTERS HEAVEN
by May Greene Bate
Mary Rebecca Adkins departed this life and entered into her eternal reward on December 27, 1929. Born in May 1840 she had attained the age of eighty-nine years. In 1861 she was united in marriage to James B. Greene who preceded her in death twenty years. One daughter, Alice Greene also preceded her in death. Five sons and three daughters mourn the loss of a loving and devoted mother but they rejoice with her in her release from pain and weariness and in her possession of the eternal inheritance.
For seventy years she has been a faithful member of our Newport Church and was known throughout the community as an earnest Christian, zealous in good works.
She always learned to watch for us
Anxious if we were late
In winter by the window
In summer by the gate.
And though we mocked her tenderly
Who had such foolish care
The long way home would seem more safe
Because she waited there.
Her thoughts were all so full of us
She never could forget
And so we think that where she is
She must be watching yet
Waiting till we come home to her
Anxious if we are late
Watching from heaven's window
Watching from heaven's gate.
