24 August 1939, The Nashville Herald
August 24, 1939 edition of The Nashville Herald:
Mrs. Olive Griner Died Last Thursday
Nashville and the entire section was saddened by the death of one of the town's 
most beloved ladies, Mrs. Olive Nash Griner, at her home just north of here at 
11:45 o'clock. She had been ill for the past month and her children and 
relatives were here at the time of her passing. A stroke of paralysis caused 
her death. Mrs. Griner was a pioneer resident of Nashville having moved here at 
the age of fourteen and had made her home here since. She was born in 
Montgomery county, Georgia, near Sumter City on January 25, 1854, the eldest of 
eight children of Newton and Lucy Ann Ryals Nash. In 1868 the family moved to 
this county. Soon afterwards, on December 11, 1869, she was married to Mr. 
Martin Jasper Griner. He passed away in August 1914.
Many were the stories Mrs. Griner told young and old folks about the early 
settling of Nashville, the people as well as the town. Her histories and 
biographies were interesting in detail as she told them in her sweet and gentle 
voice. Mrs. Griner was a great lover of flowers and her yard was a living 
symbol of the beauty and purity of her every day life, in the blooms gathered 
there by her many friends. She was loved by the people of Nashville and Berrien 
county, both young and old, and many are they who will miss her and mourn her 
passing.  Funeral services were held at the Nashville Baptist church on Friday 
afternoon at 4 o'clock with Rev. A.H. Giddens, pastor of the church, conducting 
the rites. Interment was in the Nashville cemetery.  
A choir composed of N.H. Harper, E.L. Griffin, Miss Louise Griffin, Mrs. T.C. 
Perkins and Mrs. Merle Connell, accompanied by Mrs. S.T. Bragdon, pianist, 
sang "Abide With Me," and "Amazing Grace." Pall-bearers were J.P. Knight, J.V. 
Nix, H.L. Carlton, H.M. Watson, N.N. Hughes and W.M. Boykin. Mrs. Griner was a 
devoted and faithful member of the Missionary Baptist Church and as long as her 
health per-mitted was active in Church affairs.  She is survived by six sons, 
J.M. and D.N. Griner, of Nashville; O.C. Griner, of Tallahasse, Fla.; R.B. 
Griner, of St. George, Ga.; E.C. Griner, of Valdosta; and A.B. Griner of 
Fitzgerald. One daughter, Miss Ida M. Griner, of Nashville; a sister, Mrs. A.E. 
Bailey, of Gainesville, Fla., and one brother, James Nash, of Gainesville, 
Fla., and a large number of grandchildren also survive. The Giddens Funeral 
Home of Nashville was in charge of arrangements.
