GREER, ALVIN OTHO
(5 Jul 1906, Greer County Republican, Erick, Beckham Co, OK):
Obituary.  Alvin Otho Greer, little son of Brother and Sister A. G. Greer,
of Erick, Oklahoma, was born June 8th, 1903, at Macksburg, Iowa, died June
8th, 1906, near Erick, Okla.
The cause of his death was spinal meningitis.  The dear little jewel
suffered much for a short time.  While everything  was done for him
possible, his mission on earth was short, but one that shall live as long
as father, mother and friends live.
Otho was such a bright child, and blest with such a cheerful disposition,
he made everyone about him happy, diffusing into their lives sunshine and
joy.  But he has gone up to heaven and to the God who loves little
children.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Harris and the little body placed
in the new grave in the Erick cemetery on June 9th.  Kindly, Jno. F.
Elder.
