Obituary:

Steven Greer, Brazos Civil War Veteran

Steven Greer, who departed this life on Sunday afternoon, December 30th, 1917, was a native of Brazos county, having been born on the north line of Rock Prairie on what is now known as the old Clapp place, December 1st, 1845. He was 72 years and one month of age at the time of his death. He was raised here and went to the war from this county in 1862 and served valiantly under the surrender. He returned here after the close of the war and took up the occupation of farming which he followed all the remainder of his life.

He was married a few months before the close of the war while at home on a furlough to Miss Sarah Ann Martin who resided in Millican, then the principal town of the county. He and his wife made Brazos county their home from the day they were wed and reared their family here. Nine children were born to them, six boys and three girls. All the children are dead except three sons, all of whom are grown with families of their own. One son died in Austin about three weeks ago. He is also survived by his widow who will make her home with her sister, Mrs. T.J. Caywood of this city, spending part of the time with her sons.

Steven Greer was a good man and a good neighbor. He was as kind hearted as a child and liberal to a fault. No man ever went to him for a favor that he did not grant if within his power. He was a member of the Free Baptist church.

The funeral services were held on Monday afternoon and the remains were laid to rest in the old Simms burying ground near his home, in the presence of many of his life-long friends and neighbors.

FIGHTING FIRE IS FATAL FOR AGED WOMAN

MRS. SARAH GREER, 85, LOSES HER LIFE WHEN FLAMES THREATEN HOME

Funeral Today

BODY IS SEVERELY BURNED AND CHARRED BEFORE HELP IS GIVEN

News of the tragic death of Mrs. Sarah Greer, aged 85 years who was burned to death late Tuesday afternoon at the home of her son, Avery Greer in the Peach Creek community, reached Bryan this morning. Reports of the sad accident are to the effect that Mrs. Greer, and the other members of the family, who were at home at the time, saw the high, dry grass in the pasture near the house burning, and as the fire increased and was fast getting nearer the house, went out to fight against it. While trying to put out the grass fire, Mrs. Greer's clothing caught fire, and were burned off her, her body also becoming deeply burned and charred. So seriously was the aged woman injured, that she died before a doctor could reach the home.

Deceased has been a resident of Brazos county for more than sixty years, having lived in Bryan with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Martin, before the days of the Civil War. Only two sisters and one brother of the once large family survive: Mrs. Tom Caywood, and Mrs. Jane Collard of Bryan and Monroe Martin of Batesville, Texas. Three sons also survive the aged mother: Avery Greer, with whom she made her home, George Greer, and Bud Greer, all of Brazos county.

The body was prepared for burial, and the funeral conducted under the direction of McCulloch-Dansby, funeral directors of Bryan, with interment made at the old Sims cemetery near Millican in the southern part of Brazos county. The hour of the funeral was ten o'clock Wednesday, August 16, and many old time friends and neighbors, who knew and loved the deceased were present to pay the last sad tribute of respect to her memory.

To the bereaved family, and other relatives, sincere and heartfelt sympathy is extended in this sad hour of sorrow, because of the tragic death of mother, and grandmother, whose long life has been such a benediction to them, and whose sudden death brings them such untold grief.
