Darwin Greer was 46 years of age and was known to many in Decatur. He as born in Logan county, Ohio and came to Decatur with his parents, Judge S.F. Greer and wife, when a baby. Both his parents are dead, having died from kidney trouble. The death of his father, thought not unexpected was quite sudden and he had been dead several hours when the fact became known.
Darwin H. Greer was in the mail service for a long time and for a number of years was in the employ of the Wabash at Chicago. He had been home about two years at the time of his death and has not been in any position for many months.
Darwin was living with his brother-in-law, W.R. Abbott and this is where he died. He had been dead for several hours before his sister found him. There was speculation that it could have been suicide because of the condition of the body but an inquest ruled death was due to natural causes.
He is survived by two sisters and one brother: Mrs. W.R. Abbott of Decatur; Mrs. Freeley Caldwell of Chicago and Ford Greer of LaFayette, Ind.
