Individual Details

Thomas Ellis Greer

(28 Dec 1880 - 6 May 1971)

Thomas "Ellis" Greer was thought to be a language translator, possibly a teacher. He never married. Ellis is buried in The Anthony Community Cemetery, Dona Ana county, Anthony, New Mexico. His brother, James "Jim" Bell Greer (1894-1981) and his wife, Laura Creekmore Greer (1891-1973), are also buried there.

The website below has the following information, but the sources all imply that Thomas Ellis Greer never married. This family appears in the 1920 census for T. E. Greer in Scurry County, TX, but Thomas Ellis Greer was living with his parents in Collin County in 1920, so they cannot be the same person.
