FELL DEAD IN HIS YARD

Mr. John Greer, A Highly Respected Citizen, Dies Suddenly At Home

Considerable excitement prevailed throughout the town and country Sunday and 
many were made sad when the news of the sudden death of Mr. John Greer, who was 
living at his home near Max, was made known.

Mr. Greer was apparently in good health and had just gone to get some feed for 
his horse and fell in the yard dead.  It is thought that apoplexy was the cause 
of his death.  He never spoke a word after falling and before assistance could 
reach him he had expired.

Mr. Greer was 61 years of age, was a good man, a professed Christian and a 
member of the Methodist church at Max where he was a useful and faithful 
member.  His mother was a sister of the famous Alexander Stephens.  He was 
married many years ago but no children were born in his family and his wife had 
preceded him many years to the grave.  He has been living alone many years.  He 
leaves one sister, Mrs. Mary L. Richards of Talbotton, and two brothers, Mr. 
T.A. Greer of Max, and Mr. William Greer of Little Rock, Ark., who were all at 
his funeral.

The remains were interred in the Greer-Richards lot in Oak Hill Cemetery Monday 
and a large crowd of friends were in attendance to pay their last respects to 
one who enjoyed their confidence while living and who weep with the bereaved 
family.
