She had been up around about the house for some months and there seemed a general improvement. Relatives and friends who called Wednesday evening found her: in good spirits. At 10:30 Mr. Greer came home from the State Capital office. He chatted with her for thirty minutes, when she said: "I believe I will go to bed." Mr. Greer went to fix the bed and returned from the adjoining room to find Mrs. Greer struggling for life. She had been stricken with heart failure and died in a few minutes.
Mrs. Greer was born in Adel, Iowa, on November 22, 1865. In Winfield, Kansas, on September 30, 1888 she and Mr. Greer were married. When she followed soon after and was among the first women to locate in early day social life of the city and in the years following made many friends who mourn her loss as a personal grief.
She was a woman of rare attractiveness both in appearance, disposition and attainments. She was a great reader. In her husband's large library there was scarcely a volume she had not read. She was vivacious in converse and agreeable in manner. She made her home a bower of taste and sunshine. She leaves her aged father, J. M. Byers, 76 years old who resides in the Greer home and who, with the loving husband, is dazed with grief at this sudden demise. The other relatives here are F. H.
