Jesse Greer
The death angel visited the home of Mrs. Rosa Greer on September 24, and took away her beloved little grandson, Jesse, nine years of age. He was a bright little boy and was loved by all who knew him. He leaves a father, sister, brother and a host of relatives and friends to mourn his sad death.
He is gone but not forever To his home beyond the sky, Gone to meet his sainted mother In her home beyond the sky.
But we would not call him back, No, for, we know he’s safe at rest, Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe on His gentle breast.
Sleep on, darling Jesse, Till we meet you on that shore, Is your home so bright and fair, For no pain can enter there.

(Jackson Argus – Butts County - Week of October 20, 1899)
