OBIT: Wm. J. Greer, son of Mrs. Martha Greer, who for the past two years has been to California and other places in search of health, but of no avail, died in Jacksonville, Florida, on Wednesday the 15th. He had been in the latter place about three months, accompanied by his mother. The remains were brought home on Monday and interred in Rushville cemetery on Tuesday. The deceased was 29 years, 8 months and 27 days old. Previous to his illness he took an active part in public affairs, being elected collector of Rushville Township about three years since. In Society he will be missed. He was a young man of considerable energy and ambition, and had he lived no doubt would have taken a prominent place. The concourse of bereaved relatives and friends was one of the largest witnessed on any similar occasion. The services were conducted by Rev. D. P. Lyon, assisted by Rev. Dr. Gray, at the residence of his mother east of Rushville. William James Greer is the son of James Greer and Martha Wilson Greer. James died in Ireland before Martha and her kids came to America.
