BRATTON TOWNSHIP ITEMS.

  Mr. Greer, whom we mentioned in our last writings as being very ill, died 
on the morning of January 12.  He had been afflicted with heart disease and 
dropsy for some time, but was able to walk through the house and was walking 
from the kitchen to another room when he died.  Peter Greer was a quiet 
respectable man, and was for many years a resident of Bratton township.  He 
will be much missed by all.  A sorrowing wife, four daughters and three sons 
are left to mourn the loss of a kind husband and father.  He was aged about 
67 years.  The funeral which was held on the 14th was a very large one.  
Services were conducted in the Amish church by Rev. Ash, after which the 
remains were laid to rest in the Hartzler cemetery.

Democrat and Sentinel, Lewistown, Thursday, January 28, 1897
