Greer--My Great Grandmother Mary E. Greer was the daughter of John E. & Sarah (nee Foxwell) McCormick. She was the widow of John H. Greer, a native of Christian County. Her daughter Lenora (fraternal twin to my Grandfather Leman Greer) married A. C. "Preacher" Slaton's son Lonnie (Alonzo) Slaton. My father John R. Greer recalls when he was 6 years old going to the funeral of Agnes Louise Slaton who died at age 8, "a very very sad occasion, my first experience of the death of a child." Agnes was his Uncle Lonnie Slaton's niece.) Walter Greer was the son of Mary E. & John H. Greer. His wife Dora's maiden name was Mullinax or Mullinix and widow of a man named Tyson. She had a son Willie Tyson from that first marriage.
