Emmett Shelton, Sr. tells stories of the Greer-side of the family out in Dripping Springs -- dating back to a "plantation" in Navasota before the Civil War. Emmett recounts his earliest memory of visiting Great GrandMa Greer prior to her death. After a long life, with few modern conveniences - Great Grandma was run over by a train!!
GrandPa Greer (William Henry Greer) served in the Civil War and met and married Grandma in 1872 at the Johnson Institute. He moved to Fitzhugh Rd. and was a horse trader after the War. They had seven children. Emmett tells a memory of a full day (25 mile) wagon trip from So. Austin to Dripping Springs. After Grandma Greer died in the 20s, GrandPa moved into our house -- Emmett has even more stories about GrandPa adjusting to life in So. Austin -- Roughly 100 years ago.
If you have any Greers in your family, or live in Dripping Springs (Fitzhugh Rd.) be sure to listen in.
