OBITUARY OF DAVID GREER

Died, May 13th, 1869 at his residence near Honea Path, David GREER, in the 
76th year of his age. The deceased was a native of South Carolina and spent 
most of his life in the vicinity of his late residence. He was a man of a 
cheerful, contented disposition, not inclined to wander from place to place 
in search of wealth, but possessing a competency, he was content to sit 
still and enjoy it with his friends and neighbors.

David Greer was endowed in a large degree with all the ordinary virtues that 
adorn humanity. As a farmer, he was thrifty, frugal and economical. As a 
neighbor he was kind, generous and social. In domestic enjoyment he was 
happy and cheerful and a good provider. As a citizen, he always took a deep 
interest in public affairs.

As a Christian, he was sincere, humble and consistent in his walk. He was 
during his whole Christian life, a member of the Baker's Creek Baptist 
church where he had his first and last connection. He was an affectionate 
husband, a fond father and a kind master, as the staying of his freedman 
with him, fully proves.

In all the duties of life, he acted in the fear of God; and after a 
lingering and painful decline, his useful life ended, in the humble hope 
through the grace of a glorious immortality.
