best, loved him most.  Soon after moving to Greensboro Mr. Geer was married to 
Miss Mary McGibony.  To this union three surviving children were born: one 
girl, Dana Geer and two sons, Jack and Thomas Geer. Within the short span of 
five days death claimed both brother and sister.  Miss Mary Geer, an only 
sister, died in Birmingham, Ala., Thursday from pneumonia.  A brother, W. F. 
Geer, of Augusta survives.
   The funeral occurred Tuesday afternoon from the residence. Rev. C. H. Kopp. 
officiating.  Mr. Geer was a member of the Baptist church.  The pall bearers 
were Mr. James L. Crossley, Mr. R. F. Taylor, Mr. H. T. Campbell, Mr. John S. 
Callaway, Dr. E. G. Adams and Mr. E. W. Stewart.  J. H. Mccommons Co.,
