LETTERS FROM THE
PEOPLE
Robert Grier Neglected
(Editor’s Note: The Kiwanis Club
of Jackson and the William Mcln
tosh Chapter, Daughters of the Am
erican Revolution, are now working
out a plan to properly mark the Rob
ert Grier home. These facts were un
known to Mr. Patterson when he
wrote the following letter.)
Editor Progress-Argus:—On the
Fourth of July, in company with a
party of friends, we had the highly
appreciated privilege of visiting va
rious points of historic interest in
the productive county of Butts. Our
tour included a brief stop at the
old home of Robert Grier, near which
the famous scientist of yesteryear
has been resting in a lonely little
graveyard since September, 1840.
“Almanac” Grier, as he was widely
known for many years, was born
in Columbia County, Georgia, but
later migrated to Butts to make his
heme on a farm near Stark, six miles
out from Jackson.
It was with limitless determination
and applied energy that we finally
gained access to the cemetery Try
stepping over a wire fence and snak
ing our way through grass, briers,
bushes and stones. For nearly ninety
three years the old scientist has been
resting there in Butts county soil,
but Grier’s Almanac is still the most
popular of all weather guides, a ma
jority of Georgians refusing to be
lieve that any other is “just as good.”
In all probability there are no sur
viving members of the Grier family
i:i Butts or adjoining counties, which
explains the neglected conditions of
the cemetery and graves. Would it
not be possible for the board of com
missioners of Butts county to make
provisions for the care of these
graves and for the preservation of
the old residence in which Robert
Grier lived and died?
Grier’s Almanac was founded by
Robert Grier in 1807, from which
THE JACKSON PROGRESS- ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
[time until 1837, thirty years, he was
its compiler and editor. In 1837
Thomas P. Ashmore succeeded Pro
fessor Grier as compiler of the “Old
Favorite,’’ who was in turn succeed
ed by his nephew, Prof. Otis Ash
more, 1882, who is still making the
astronomical calculations.
For 126 years “Grier's Almanac’’
has been regarded as a household
necessity in the states of Georgia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Flor
ida, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee,
Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas.
A more widely known or justly
famous citizen has ever made his
home in Butts county. When a child
the writer talked with aged citizens
of the county who remembered the
old scientist and “Observatory Rock,”
which was near his home. It is im
probable that there is a person liv
ing today who was acquainted with
Robert Grier, but there are few
Southerners who are not familiar
with the najpe.
People who reside at a distance
are often neglectful of family ceme
teries. The writer Is not guiltless, but
sentiment and public interest and
appreciation it would seem should
justify the county in caring for the
grave of a former citizen whose
name has been a household word
throughout the South for 126 years.
