| Charity Margaret (Elson) Greer, was a native of Stark county and a member of one of its earliest pioneer families. She was born in Sandy township, on the family homestead one mile north of the village of Waynesburg, on the 29th of January, 1828, and was one of triplets, two of whom survived, she and her sister Catherine E., who became the wife of Dr. T. H. Whitacre and who is now deceased. The two sisters resembled each other so closely that even their intimate friends often mistook one for the other. They were children of Richard Elson, who came to Stark county as a pioneer from Virginia, where the family was established in the pioneer days. Mrs. Charity M. Greer was summoned into eternal rest on the 10th of March, 1896, having held the affectionate regard of all who came within the sphere of her influence, while she was a devoted wife and mother. |
