English winged its flight at his old home near Englishville, early Sunday morning. He had passed through a long period of suffering and on doubt, was entirely ready and willing to go. > His death marks the passing of one of the most robust young men who ever went out from Macon County into the busy world. He was a picture of health and went west to win fame and fortune, and was going up rapidly, being one of the most prominent officers of a large irrigation corporation in Oregon, when he contracted the dread disease. Realizing that his strength was slowly but surely ebbing away, he came back to the old home a year ago and at last sank, weary and suffering, into the sheltering arms of his Maker. He was a son of the late lamented Thomas H. English and and his wife, Eliza Virginia [Higgins] English and was unmarried. He left a mother and several brothers and sisters, and a large circle of friends. His remains were interred Sunday afternoon in the old family cemetery near his home. > [Note:Henry S.

January 14, 1910 > GOOD CITIZEN AT REST - After a short period of pain, Mr. C. A. Greer peacefully passed away Thursday night, at his home in this city. Around him were the family, with him in death, as in life, heart broken at his passing, but glorifying God, and trying to say "Thy Will be done,": not ours. > I little thought it would ever be my lot to have to write my father's obituary. Rather a thousand times, he had written mine. Of his spiritual condition it can be truly said that he fought a good fight, and kept the faith. If there are any words of eulogy to be said, I leave them for others to say. His friends have ministered unto him and us tenderly, mingling their tears with ours and we feel a common bond of grief binding us together in fraternal love. > My father was for many years a cosistent member of the Methodist Church, the Masonic and Knights of Pythias Lodges. He died, loving everybody, breathing a message of peace and good will to all. By: Leon C. Greer > [Note: Carlton A.
