The only item in the Families of Greer binder is an Greer Citizen obituary for Lalage S. Harrill (August 7, 1914-November 18, 2007), notable as Greer's first special education teacher.
The obituary for Courtney Hannah (May 22, 1872-April 20, 1931) includes the names of his wife (Maggie Hudson Hannah), daughters (Myrtle Hannah Flemming, Frances, and Nell Hannah), and sons (Alton, John, James, and Fred Hannah). The other obituaries include similar family information. The transcribed letter was authored by Wiley Hanna on August 14, 1861 during his time among the 1st regiment of the S. C. Cavalry. Hanna details his experience as the company stayed at Adams Run, where many of the men were sick, and his remembrances of his home in Spartanburg.
The only item in the Families of Greer binder was the newspaper article. o The article is an announcement of the dedication of the new Hammett Bridge in honor of Harold Hammett, a descendent of two of Greer’s founding families, the Hammetts and the Holtzclaws.
