Excerpt from Stephen Greene: Memories of His Life, With Addresses, Resolutions and Other Tributes of Affection

May 2, 1842, when he was overseer of the card ing-room at Harrisville, he married Maria Arnold, the daughter of Hervy Arnold, a cabinet-maker. She was a weaver in the mill, as were all her sisters. I have now in my desk, for every-day use, a small pair of scissors which she used over sixty years ago in the weave-shop. That work would compare now with stenography and typewriting. She had the advantage of a private school at Lonsdale for a short time. She was very conscientious, quiet, un demonstrative, practical, the incarnation of common sense, profound in her religious feeling. She, also, was a member of the Phenix Church.
