Verne Mildred Greene

Her parents, Theron J. and Dorothy (Rowe) Christian welcomed their daughter into the world on July 18, 1940, in Keene, NH.

In her earlier years, she worked as a waitress with the former Chrystal Restaurant and the Keene Ice Creamery, both in Keene. She later worked as a supervisor with the National Grange Mutual Insurance Company in Keene.

In her later years, Verne sold real estate through Hastings Real Estate in Keene and was a childcare provider for many generations of family members. She also wrote a genealogical column for the Keene Sentinel and did freelance work for families searching out their family’s genealogical records. She published a historian to her own family genealogy history dating back many centuries starting across the pond.

Verne also enjoyed volunteering over the years, giving time to the Keene City Hall and the Historical Society of Cheshire County. One of her greatest volunteering achievements was doing volunteer research work for the New Hampshire State Police Head Quarter’s cold case unit and was given recognition by the NH State Police for work on the cold case file "Bear Brook Murders, The Allenstown Four".

Verne was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Reprisal Chapter in Newport, NH since 2001.

Sadly, Verne was predeceased by her husband of 25 years, James F. Greene, on July 16, 1992.
