Veteran Marshall Greer Returns From Oklahoma Visit

Marshal Greer came back Monday after thirty days visiting two sons in Oklahoma. He attended the Confederate Reunion in Dallas and enjoyed a splendid stay with his boys and a glorious time at the reunion. His son Orrus Greer of Rupert Idaho joined him in Oklahoma and returned home with him, his first visit here in 25 years. He will stay in his native county for a few weeks before returning west.
