Services Were Held Thursday for Mrs. Greer
Mrs. FLORENCE GREER, the woman who was befriended by a community 10 years ago in her time of need, was not forgotten at the time of her death. At 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon of last week the Rev. Dean McMann, pastor of the St. Albans Episcopal Church, conducted simple but dignified funeral rites for her in the Wickenburg Chapel. Present were eight of the friends she had made while residing at the Cactus Ranch near Morristown. There was a nice coffin and there were flowers. Mrs. Greer died in Community Hospital March 11. It was in 1951 that Deputy Sheriff Clyde Hall found her and her husband in a shack on the desert west of town in need of food, clothing, fuel, and bedding and other necessities of life. The community responded in an appeal and made life worthwhile for the couple. Hall hauled water to them for more than a year. Mr. Greer died and Mrs. Greer had since lived alone on her welfare checks.
