The Enterprise, January 3, 1908
Rev. Thos. H. Greer Dead
     Rev. Thos. H. Greer, one of the county’s pioneer citizens and most highly 
respected gentlemen, died very suddenly at his home in this city on Thursday of 
last week with heart failure.
     Mr. Greer was born in Union, S. C. in 1839, and removed to Newton County 
when a young man and had been a resident ever since.
     He was ordained at Carmel Baptist Church, this county, in 1875, and 
received his license in 1882. Was an active minister in the pulpit for 23 years.
     In 1853 he was married to Miss Mary J. Hays and from this union ten 
children were born, eight of whom with his wife survive him.
     The funeral services were conducted at Hayston on Friday, and the remains 
laid to rest in the cemetery there.
