25 Neighbors Appear With Wagons to Move Walter Green Back to Monroe, Jan. 28, 1921

On last Monday morning 25 two-horse wagons went to the home of Mr. Walter C. Green at the Rochelle Blakeney place, four or five miles southwest of Monroe, and moved him back to his former home near Mt. Pleasant church in Buford township from which he had been away only four or five weeks.

Mr. Green had sold his home and moved to the Blakeney place. A breach of contract had made it necessary for him to retake possession of his former home.

Mr. Green has lived in the Mt. Pleasant community for a number of years and has served on the board of school committeemen there for quite a while. The people know him, know his worth to a neighborhood, and the greatest evidence of a real man and neighbor in Mr. Green is the fact that the above mentioned wagons and teams did not cost Mr. Green one cent, and they do say that had it been necessary there could have been a like number gotten at the same price. Mr. Green wishes to express his gratefulness and sincere appreciation for above acts of kindness.
