From the Burnet Bulletin - 19 Apr 1906 James M. Greer
Surrounded by his loving children and a large number of kind and anxious friends, James M.Greer was called from labor to rest Sunday evening April 1 st 1906. For several years he had been a sufferer, and for the past four weeks he was confined to his bed. [next sentence partially obscured by tear in the copy] ...bore his suffering without complaint or murmur; for a few hours before his life went out it seemed that all pain and suffering ceased, and in perfect ease and peace, he thus fell into a sweet sleep to await the Resurrection morn when God shall call forth His redeemed to the home he has prepared for His children. While his death was expected at any moment, when it became known that Uncle Jim was dead, a sad gloom was cast over the entire community for no one in our midst was ever loved more than he. From early life he was a true devoted Christian, and his motto in life was to do good unto all. Never in life did we hear Uncle Jim speak harshly to anyone, and always ready to forgive. It was not what he said, but what he did that told the true story of his noble life. As a husband and father there was no end to his goodness, patience and kindness. Here all words fail to describe the sweet beauty of his character, and the loss realized by his loved ones who are left to mourn his untimely death.
On Monday, April 2nd, a large crowd of weeping friends and relatives followed the remains of the deceased to its last resting place in the Sycamore Cemetery. Rev. E. H. Watson of Brownwood conducted the funeral services and Prof. T.A. Burch lead the beautiful singing. Mr. James M. Greer was born May 25th 1830 in Cumberland county Tennessee, and on August 25th 1849 he was married to Miss Amanda Stewart, who was ever a true and faithful companion. In their early life, they moved to Texas, and the most fruitful portion of their lives was spent in Burnet County. On September 17, 1903, his devoted wife was called away to await his coming in that better land, and he has gone go join her in that sweet home where partings are over and no more farewell tears are shed. He leaves six children, J.C. Greer of Burnet, Mrs. Mattie McAndrew of Beaumont, Mrs. Alice Gipson of Paint Rock, J. W. Greer, Mrs. I. J. Clark, and Mrs. Mary E. Cox of Mahomet, with a large number of friends to mourn his loss. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the bereaved ones, but we cannot comfort you in this sad hour. We commend you to the Heavenly Father for His guidance and comfort. Earth hath no sorrow which He cannot heal.
