    Source Citation: Year: 1900; Census Place: Maynard, Middlesex, Massachusetts; Roll: T623 663; Page: 11A; Enumeration District: 863, enumerated on the 18th of June 1900.

    Name Age John F Green 54 Head Margaret Green 51 Wife Clara Green 19 Daughter Mary Green 10 Ad Daughter

    It appears that John and Margaret immigrated to the US in 1887. In this census they were living on Percival Street in Maynard. John is shown as a labourer at the woolen mills and his daughter,Clara, was working as a laundress. Margaret indicated that she had six children, but only two were still living. The daughter shown as Mary Green appears to have been adopted.

    Name Age John F Greene 61 Margaret M Greene 60 Mary Greene 19 Gertrude Greene 11

    In this census John and Margaret were shown as living at Burnside? Street in Maynard. John was still employed as a labourer in the woolen mills. There is one more daughter shown, Gertrude, who also appears to have been adopted since the census indicates that her parents were born in the US.

    In this census I located a John F Greene, from Newfoundland, a widower, who was a boarder, along with quite a few others, in a house on Main Street in Maynard. His age is given as 76 and he was still a labourer at the woolen mills. John indicated that he had entered the US in 1886 and became a naturalized citizen in 1890.

    "Walter and Gus enlisted in the war of 1914 -1918 and went overseas in the first 500 named the "blue puttees". Gus fought in the Dardanelles and in the first of July drive, and was wounded-the battle of Beaumont Hamel equal to the charge of the light brigade whereby General Haig named the Newfoundlanders better than the best. Walter Greene rose to the rank of Captain and was killed in France in 1917. Gregory Greene enlisted in 1915, and served to the end of the war, returning as Sergeant Major."

    Birth:
    Although the surviving baptism records for Mary's home parish at Ferryland only go back to 1870, Mary's baptism was recorded in the adjacent parish at Fermeuse.

    Died:
    Based on the 1900 and 1910 US Censuses, Mary died in this timeframe. This is the only listing of a Mary Johnston (or Johnson) that is shown for Bristol in the Connecticut Death Record Index, 1897-1966. To date I have been unable to find an on-line record to verify that this record is for Mary (Grant) Johnston.

    The transcription on this census is not too good, family was recorded as Greever. The family was living at 45 Acton St. in Maynard, MA.They had been married 3 years and the census appears to show that John had entered the US in 1895(blurred). John's was working as a percher? at the woolen mills. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The family was recorded as living at 6 Pond Lane in Concord. It is noted that John was born in Newfoundland and came to the US in 1898, becoming a naturalized US citizen in Nov. 1902. It is also stated that John's father was born in Newfoundland and his mother tongue was English, but his mother was born in Ireland and her mother tongue was Irish. This information seems to be confused in many of the census, which leads me to wonder how the enumerator asked the questions to gather this data. It would indicate to me that the Greenes were of English origin and the Delahuntys were of Irish origin. (Kevin Reddigan).

    The following account is given in “The First Five Hundred”:

    “One of these patrols had a trying experience. On the night of November 4, a patrol sent out under Lieutenant J. J. Donnelly occupied a ridge midway between the trenches occupied by the enemy and those held by our men. From this ridge the Turks had been giving trouble every night for some time. The patrol had scarcely reached the ridge before it was opposed by the enemy who outnumbered our men by about seven to one. The sound of the firing from the ridge indicated to the Commanding Officer that our patrol was being attacked, and, suspecting that it was greatly outnumbered by the enemy, he immediately dispatched six men under Lieutenant Ross and Sergeant Greene to reinforce the patrol. As this small party was slowly making its way across No Man’s Land it encountered a large party of Turks who were rapidly surrounding our men who were holding the ridge.

    In the skirmish that followed only Sergeant Greene and Private Hynes escaped without being wounded. The coolness, resourcefulness and courage with which these two men managed the situation could not be surpassed by the soldiers of many years active warfare experience. By their rapid fire at close range they completely deceived the Turks who greatly exceeded them in numbers. The enemy finally retired to his own trenches, and the attempt to surround our original patrol was completely foiled. This timely aid enabled Lieutenant Donnelly and his men to hold the ridge all night, although every man in the party had been wounded, some several times. On the following day the Regiment advanced its front line to the ridge that had been so nobly held by the two small patrols, and placed machine guns in commanding positions. This ridge was afterward most appropriately called Caribou Hill. The name will for many years linger in the minds of Newfoundlanders, and will recall the true soldierly qualities of the Newfoundland troops who fought at Gallipoli.

    Of these two patrols, three men were awarded decorations for their skill, coolness and courage in extreme danger. The official statement of the London Gazette is as follows: ‘The Military Cross was awarded to Lieutenant J. J. Donnelly for conspicuous gallantry and determination on the night of the fourth-fifth of November, 1915, on the Gallipoli Peninsula. He occupied with eight men a knoll to which our firing line was extended the next day. By his coolness and skill in handling his small party, which was reduced to five by casualties, he repelled several determined Turkish bomb and rifle attacks on his front and flanks, and held his own during the night.’

    ‘The Distinguished Conduct Medal was awarded to Sergeant Greene and Private Hynes under the following circumstances: 266 Sergeant W. M. Greene, First Newfoundland Regiment. For conspicuous gallantry on the night of the fourth-fifth of November, 1915, on the Gallipoli Peninsula.

    With an Officer and six men he led the way in front of our advanced line in order to support a party of his Regiment which was being heavily attacked and likely to be surrounded.

    The enemy were encountered at close range, and, when the Officer and two men had been wounded, Sergeant Greene took command, drove off the Turks and brought in the wounded.’

    ‘807 Private R.E. Hynes, First Newfoundland Regiment. For conspicuous gallantry on the night of the fourth-fifth of November, 1915, on the Gallipoli Peninsula. With an Officer and six men he attacked superior numbers of Turks, who were attempting to surround a small post. In spite of heavy casualties on our side, Private Hynes kept up rapid fire at close range, which resulted in the Turks abandoning their enterprise, and enabled his party to bring in the wounded.’
