The Texas Spur, October 20, 1911

Mr. R. J. Greer died at the home of his son near Afton, Oct. 1911. After several weeks illness. His body was laid to rest in the Spur Cemetery. Brother Greer expressed these words before he died, "that he was at peace with God and glad to go." He was born in Claborn parish and was 63 years old. He was the son of Isaah and Nancy Greer. The family consisted of ten brothers and two sisters. Our loss is his gain. Take courage brother, sister and children. God doeth all things well. He will call for you and me some day.

Written by the Pastor and brothers warm friend, J.V. Bilberry
