Dan Lester Greer

(June 17, 1887 - August 23, 1972)

"Dan Lester Greer was the first boy born in the town of Potts Camp. He operated the Greer and Greer Store in Potts Camp with his brothers, Robert and Curtis. He was the sole owner until his retirement after 20 years. The store closed after 82 years of continous operation. Farmers bought farm supplies, food and clothing from the store and paid for it after their crops were harvested in the fall. The Greers also owned a "famous" health resort called Eagle Springs which was one mile south of town. Located at the springs were a health spa and a hotel owned by the Greer family. There was a boardwalk that lead from the down town area to Eagle Springs." (MY GREER LINEAGE, 1992, by Mary Lee Barnes, page 99.)
