Gospel preacher, storekeeper, and farmer.
Unknown Newspaper, January 1918
Brother Greene Lee Tomson was born December 19, 1838, in Hardeman County, Tennessee; came with his family to Missouri in March 1859, residing first in the vicinity of Brazito and Hickory Hill, Cole County, later at and near Spring Garden, Miller County, but for more than thirty years prior to his death, January 26, 1918, made his home near Tuscumbia, Mo., save short sojourns in Colorado and the far West. His career as a minister of the Gospel of Christ covered a period of approximately fifty years.
In his conduct, conversation and ministry he stood firmly and unmoved for the simplicity, faith and practice of the Disciples of Christ, accepted no creed, the inventions of men, contending that the "faith once delivered to the saints" is all-sufficient both in the molding of Christian character here and for the salvation of the soul hereafter. [here follows a lengthy "sermon" which I have omitted.]
Brother Tomson has gone to his reward and his works indeed do follow him. He was married first to Elizabeth Sullens of the Spring Garden Vicinity, who died, leaving three sons and four daughters, namely: James Pinkney Tomson, Daniel Franklin Tomson, and Lee Tomson, Mrs. R.S. Belshe, Mrs. J.A. Hill, Mrs. Joseph Hicks, later Tracy, and Mrs. W.M. Kallenbach. To his last wife who survives him (prior to her marriage Miss Emma Sellinger of Montana) was born a daughter who died in infancy. Other children by his first wife also died in infancy.
