Henry Clarkson Green, 102, of Markham, died May 23, 2023 peacefully at his home “Hartland”, where he was born April 9, 1921, a son of the late Alexander G. and Lizzie Stribling Green of Markham.

A gentle gentleman and dedicated steward of the land, Mr. Green worked his entire life on his farm. One of his greatest pleasures was seeing his children and grandchildren remain close and active on the farm - where Hartland Farm over the years has expanded to include several enterprises: beef cattle, pick-your-own fruits and vegetables, farm market with agritainment, Christmas trees, and an equine veterinary practice.

Mr. Green served on the John Marshall Soil and Water Conservation District Board, as well as the Virginia Soil and Water State Commission. He also served on the boards of the Marshall National Bank, the Fauquier Hospital, and Lord Fairfax Community College at its inception. He was an active member and trustee of the Markham United Methodist Church, and a charter member of the Leeds Ruritan Club.

He earned his B.S. in chemistry at Hampden-Sydney College, and M.S. from Lehigh University. While working as a research chemist at Alcoa, he turned down a presidential exemption and went into the U. S. Navy, serving in the Pacific Theatre in WWII as communication officer aboard the aircraft carrier USS Belleau Wood.

Mr. Green was preceded in death by his brothers James R. Green and Alexander G. Green Jr.; his wife and mother of his children Grace Miller Green; wife Harriette Wagner Green; his beloved daughter Margaret G. Morris. U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall was his great-great-grandfather.

Survivors include his loving companion Margaret Sanders of Markham; his good friend Ricky Jenkins of Clear Brook. Five children: Grace G. “Jaque” Bradford of Markham; Henry “Hank” Green Jr. and wife Cheryll of Maurertown; John Miller Green of White Post; Elizabeth G. Mathias of Moorefield, W.
