Mrs. Hiram Griner Dies in Berrien
	Alapaha, Ga., August 6 – Mrs. Hiram Griner, an aged and esteemed lady of 
the Avera Mill neighborhood, of this county, passed very suddenly to the higher 
life at her home on last Tuesday evening at nine o’clock P.M.  Just after 
retiring, death coming to her in a very few minutes after it was ascertained 
that she was suffering from an attack of what was supposed to be acute 
indigestion.
	Mrs. Griner was in her eighty-third year and she and her husband had 
lived happily together in the same locality where they were married sixty-three 
years ago.  For more than thirty years she had been a faithful member of the 
Primitive Baptist church at New Hope and her faithfulness and devotion to her 
church were among the many noble characteristics of this good woman whom to know 
was to love and respect.  She was a loving mother, a true wife and companion to 
her husband, a much appreciated neighbor whose greatest delight was to minister 
to the needs of her home and its inmates and so far as she could, relieve the 
sufferings of her neighbors wherever they became known to her.
	She was the mother of 10 children, 8 of whom are living and all have 
families of their own.  Her daughters are as follows:  Mrs. W.H. Gaskins, 
Hazlehurst, Ga.; Mrs. John Mobley, Alapaha, Ga.; Mrs. Jesse Lewis, Mrs. Q.B. 
Gray, Nashville; Marcus Griner, Nashville, Ga.; Mrs. Marcus Giddens, Mulberry, 
Fla.; Mrs. Ed Simmons, Lake City, Fla.; Daniel Griner, Nashville, Ga.; and Mrs. 
Ed Akridge, dead.  There was one child died in infancy.  One brother Mr. T.J. 
Ray, of Nashville and one sister, Mrs. Louvelia Bullard of Florida, survive her.  
A sister, Mrs. D.F. Giddens, recently of Cecil but who died at the home of her 
daughter in Adel, preceded her to the grave about two months.
	Funeral services were conducted at Flat Creek Cemetery where interment 
took place on Thursday, August 2, Elder Hiram T. Griner being in charge of the 
services.  Her remains were escorted to the last resting place by a large 
concourse of relatives and friends who sincerely mourn the passing of this much 
esteemed lady.
