Mrs. Nettie Potter Greathouse
SMITH'S GROVE KY-Just before the Christmas Holiday the Angel Death came to Mrs Nettie (Potter) Greathouse, the eldest member of the Friendship Baptist Church, near Oakland KY.
From girlhood she had been a loyal and faithful member, and angel of mercy to the sick and hungry of the community. The writer has long remembered the words of a young mother who lived near, "She fed my babies so many times when they were hungry. "
She was laid to rest in the family graveyard (which she so beautifully kept as long as she was able) , by her sons Lloyd and Adrian, her husband
Wallace Greathouse who passed on in May 1934.
Her funeral was conducted at her request by Rev. W. T. Jewell, her pastor for seventeen years who has also assisted in her husband's funeral.
She is survived by her son Raymond Greathouse, Detroit: a daughter Mrs Janette Williams, Louisville, KY. Respectfully, M. Ruth (Whitlow) Bratton, Smith's Grove, route
