The Cairo Messenger, Friday, March 12, 1920
Charles Edward Griner Claimed By Death

This entire section was saddened last Saturday morning to learn of the passing 
of one of its truest exponents of the spirit of progress, and one of its most 
popular and most promising citizens, when Mr. Charles Edward Griner, aged 46, 
passed away at his home here after an illness of only ten days with flu-
pneumonia a few days previous, and was reported somewhat improved on Friday, 
but died at 5:30 Saturday morning.

Mr. Griner was a native of this county, and was born on October 7th, 1873.  In 
his early manhood, he moved to Pelham and made that his home until about three 
years ago.  He came to Cairo and rapidly won a host of friends here by the many 
admirable qualities which he possessed.  Following the death of his first wife, 
he was married on July 17th, 1915 to Miss Willie A. Cheek, of Thomasville, who 
survives him.  Three sons, Messrs. Russell C. Griner, secretary to Congressman 
Frank Park, Hubert and Jessie Griner of Cairo and one four months old daughter, 
Grace, also survive.

The funeral services were held from the residence Sunday morning at ten o'clock 
and interment followed in Pleasant Grove cemetery near Cairo.  The Masons 
officiated at the funeral.

The deceased was a member of the Masonic fraternity, having been initiated into 
the Chapter, Commandery and Shrine.  He was also a Woodman, Odd Fellow and 
Knight of Pythias.  He was a Steward in the local Methodist church.

HE worked constantly for the interests of Grady county and enjoyed a good 
patronage as a contractor and builder.  He was manager of the Cairo Brick 
Company and recently organized and had just finished several large contracts in 
this section.  His death was a source of deep sorrow to his many warm friends 
and this section in general.
