Baltimore Sun, 6 October 1941.
Henry Green migrated temporarily to Maryland to work at a dairy. Tragically, he did not come home.

Lisa,
OH MY HEAVENS ABOVE!!!!
This is my grandfather who my mother told us about though we never knew the details of how he died as described here.
Receiving this information , for the first time ever, 84 years later, is a gift to us from God through you. May you forever be blessed and highly favored by the Lord for bringing life to the dead… literally….and to so many others like me.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart on behalf of my mother, her mother, and all of Mom’s siblings who all have gone on ..not knowing while on earth..but joining Granddad in heaven.
I AM CRYING TEARS OF JOY as I am traveling to Greensboro today to let my 96 year old Mom know that you found her dad.
This is yet one more testament that TRUTH SMITTEN TO THE EARTH SHALL RISE AGAIN.
YOU ARE MY SISTER from another mother who taught my brother.
WE ARE ONE. THANKS FOREVER.
This is at the heart of the WHY of Black Wide-Awake — finding and opening doors between us and the knowledge of our ancestors!
