SOOTER, Green Berry - Green Berry Sooter was born in Missouri June 13, 1840. Most of his life was spent in Dade Co., Mo. He came to Arkansas 38 years ago and since then has resided near Gravette. He served three years in the Civil war under Gens. Jos. Shelby and Sterling Price. He was twice married; first to Madilina Stevens in 1865, to which union were born 7 children, 5 of whom are living. He was married to Vannie Shelly April 24, 1893. To this union were born 7 children; 2 sons and their mother survive him. Mr. Sooter died Jan. 19, 1917 of grippial pneumonia after 3 days illness, aged 76 years. He was converted in early life but the cares of this life caused him to draw back from the Lord. In Oct. 1915 he was saved and sanctified in a meeting conducted by Evangelist Daugherty at Decatur, since when his testimonials and faithfulness to the Lord have been the means of pleasure and happiness to his family and friends. Just before he died he testified to a brightness of soul and a readiness to meet his Maker. The funeral was conducted at Bethel Jan. 21 by Rev. Claude Goodwin of the Holiness church where many friends were gathered who wish to offer their sympathy to the family. - Contributed. [Gravette News-Herald 1/26/1917]
