Obituary- Mrs. Edna Wilkinson Greer
1918



It becomes our sad duty to record the death of our dear 
niece, Mrs. Edna Greer, who was born in Sumter Co., Ala., 
Oct 10, 1892, and died Feb. 10, 1918.

With her parents, Mr. And Mrs. C. M. Wilkerson, she moved 
to Louisiana in 1903.  On May 19, 1909 she happily married 
to Hezzie Greer, their union being blessed with three 
precious little ones, all of whom she leaves behind, 
besides mother, father, brother and sisters, and a 
host of friends.
Death in any form brings sadness, but when one so young 
and so much needed is snatched from home and loved ones, 
it seems, Oh! So sad.  "Yet His ways are not our ways."
It was not my privilege to be associated with Edna except in 
her early childhood.  Then she gave promise of a lovely and 
useful woman, which was afterwards fulfilled in the obedient 
daughter, the affectionate sister, faithful wife and loving 
mother.
She, with her husband, joined the Baptist Church soon after 
her marriage and was loyal to same until death.

Farewell, dear little girl, the Boatman has just carried you 
over, and He's coming back for us some sad, sweet day, then 
there'll be a happy reunion on the other shore.
