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.
