Jackson Progress – Week of April 26, 1895
Mr. G. S. Hanes is repairing a clock which was owned by Butts County’s greatest 
astronomer, Robt. Grier, the author of Grier’s Almanac.  Mr. Hanes says the 
clock is as good as it ever was and is an old Seth Thomas clock.  The clock is 
now owned by a Mr. Nolan, who married the widow of Sid Grier, a son of the 
original Robt. Grier, and he lives in the same house in which Robt Grier died, 
which is four miles from Jackson.   Robt. Grier was a Presbyterian and held 
three scholarships in Due West College at Abbeville, S.C.  He gave one to Judge 
John I. Hall, one to Mr. Obe Hendrick, and one to Mr. Julius Gunn, all of whom 
availed themselves of a collegiate course through his kindness and made good 
citizens.
