| 1301 | Obituary: 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.

The printed poem, "Your Face Speaks" was written by Mark Mercer who dedicated it to Florine for her spirit and kindheartedness in thinking of helping others after Bill died. She lived a life that anyone would be proud of and that her family looked up to. You don't have to tell How you live each day You don't have to say If you work or you play A tried true barometer Serves in its place However you live it Will show in your face. The false, the deceit That you bear in your heart Will not stay inside Where it first got its start For sinew and blood Are a thin veil of lace What you bear in your heart You wear in your face. If you life is unselfish If for others you live For not what you get But how much you can give If you live close to God In His infinite grace You don't have to show it, It shows in your face. Thank you for being there for us so many times. What would our family be without you and all of the West Kentucky members that have shown what being a Christian is all about. Thank you to West Side Church of Christ members where Florine worshipped and loved so many of her brothers and sisters in Christ. Thank you to Holy Trinity Episcopal Church members, St. Paul's Angelican Church, and First Baptist Church for keeping the faith with our family. Arrangements are under the direction of Ellis Funeral Home. (Published in The Midland Reporter-Telegram from June 9 to June 10, 2009) | Hamlin, Flora Arine (I11218)
