IN MEMORIAM
It was noontime the 26th, day of
May 1909, when Henry H. Greer
surrendeied his mortal life aid
passed to the great beyond. To
those who knew him we hardly
have an occasion to speak and the
stronger word have hut little inter
est in an extended notice of his
lifes record.
On him the Master made a per
fect instrument to sound his praise
It breathed forth glorious notes
for many days chords of great
strength streams of soft melody
Its fine burst of music. The Mas
tei’s stroke fell on the world ai d
then the spent strings broke.
He was the son of the late Tims,
and Elizabeth Greer known to
many of the people of this county.
Was horn Nov. 11th, 1862 and died
May 26th 1909, age 46 yeais. In
I#BS he was married to Miss Kate
West, to this union r?as horn three
children. One him to
he great beyond, two still remain
ing to share the loss of a living fa
ther. In 1889 he professed a hope
iu the Lord Jesus Christ and was
baptized into the fellowship of the
missionary Baptist church by Rev.
T. J. Bledsoe at Liberty Hill He
remained a consistent member
there till in 1892 he withdrew from
the church to assist in the consti
tntion of Rocky Creek church and
was a consistant member there at
the time of his death.
In 1894 he was ordained to the
office of Deacon and remained in
that office at the time of his death
death, filling the < ffice with honor
to himself and bis master. He
also served as clerk of the church
for about thirteen years.
As a citizen and neighbor he was
true and faithful always laboring
f..r the upbuildingofhmnanitytbe
the maintenance of the law and
peace of his conntr.;. As a hus
band he was kind and true provid
ing well for his own household.
As a lather he was kind and indul
gent to them yet notstern and pos
itive in his discipline as a n'eml < r
of the church of Jesus Christ he
was faithful and true and ready at
any and all times to make a per
sonal sacrifice for the cause of his
Master. He was a liberal and
cheerful giver to the church in all
its causes.
But his last kind act has been
done, his last calm word has been
spoken and the melody of his once
sweet voice is heard no more till
the trumpet blast shall awake his
peaceful slumber. And when the
time came for him to go, how fif
ing was the time and the way of
his going, and his departure from
among us was as silent and modest
as was his life’s journey iri onr
midst. Such a life is more appre
ciated when it comes to grow in
jnr midst and becomes translated
to perfect its growth in another
clime. But God in his wisdom has
recall the bloom his love had given
and .though the body slumbers
here the same safe in Heaven.
A widowed mother mute with
grief whose weeping children call
in vain. Their tears and cries no
relief. The starry Heavens are
lurching low in memory of loving
worth, sweeter thoughts like
hidden springs will flow from rare
flowers in Oasis, have birth as sor
row durst verdent grow.
In the death of onr brother the
church has lost its best and stron
gest member, the communities best
citizen, and the county one of its
most substantial citizens. While
we miss him in our church and
community. We do not miss him
like the dear ones s.t home.
In this hour of sadness and deep
gloom let none of ns loose .sight of
the blessed promises of God Jesus
says, Igo to prepare a place for
you and if I go and prepare a place
for you I will come again and re
ceive you unto my self that, where
lam there ye may be also and
again he says, For we know that if
this earthly house of our taberna-
I cle were desolved. We have a
j building of God a house not made
I with hands eternal in the heavens.
Oh that sweet home that awaits
the children of God.
With the previous thoughts we
should rejoice over brother Greer
feeling the assuriir.ee that our loss
is his eternal gain.
Ti e berieved ones may loose
their grief in tne inevitable answer
which God gives to their souls in
this question ; Can a life lived so
naturally here? Warming llie
hearts of friends in its unvarying
acceptance eneou-ageing many
who otherwise had dispaired can
such a living so benignly ever
but rather was the life here hut
an appirenf.lv lifeless bulb. Now
just begining to bloom into rial
life, which for ages will centinne
to bloom.
He is gone hut. not forgotten,
never will his memory fade (Sweet
er thoughts shall ever linger
around the grave where he is laid.
Thou lias gone from ns oh lov< d
o’re the dark and cliillv tide in the
house cf many mansions. With
the blest than dost abide, now thy
form lies pale and silent, hut ihy
soul from earth hath flown. Far
from scenes of toil and trials,
thou hast gone to joys unknown.
We shall now he sad and lonely,
Send thy voice we hear nc more,
But ere long we hope to meet
thee,
On the bright eternal shore.
Fare thee well departed loved
one,
Fare thee well till bye and bye
We shall join the ransom num
ber
In that land of light on high.
