Remembering Thomas Lacy Greer

"Thomas Lacy Greer, son of Nathaniel Hunt Greer and Ann Terry Roberts, was born September 2, 1826, in [DeKalb] County, Georgia. He grew to manhood before they came to Utah. His father, mother, brothers, and sisters all came overland to Utah. While coming, one brother died of cholera, and then his father [who also died of cholera] was buried with little to mark his resting place...."

This is how John Harris' younger sister, Oasis Ann Greer Blessingame, begins her account of the life of her father. You can read the full account here: www.familysearch.org/photos/artifacts/6745167.
