Mrs. Katherine Green Dies After Long Illness
Winner of a gallant fight against tuberculosis, only to fall victim to its aftermath of heart disease, Mrs. Katherine E. Green, 31, died Monday in her home, 1163 W. 36th.
Mrs. Green was born in Warren County, Tennessee, but had lived in Indianapolis since childhood.
For a time Mrs. Green was a stenographer for the Indianapolis Life Insurance Co. During World War II she worked as a secretary for the Curtiss-Wright Corp. For two years she had been secretary at Crossroad, rehabilitation center of the Marion County Society for Crippled Children and Adults.
Mrs. Green’s husband, Roy Green, an employee at the Allison Division, General Motors Corp., died eight years ago.
Possessed of great patience and nimble fingers, Mrs. Green worked many hours at home working shell jewelry, fabricating brooches, earrings, necklaces and bracelets of shells formed painstakingly into tiny flower clusters. She sold a few of these but gave most of them to her family and friends.
Services will be held at 2 p.m. tomorrow in the Conkle West 16th Street Funeral Home. Burial will be in Crown Hill Cemetery.
Survivors are a daughter, Sue Ellen Green, 10; her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Glenn W. Elam and a brother, Glenn L. Elam.
