Rev. Samuel H. Gregory Died Early Yesterday Morning
Body Will Be Brought to Geneva for Burial
"Rev. Samuel H. Gregory, a well known and highly respected minister of the gospel, died at his home near Columbus, at three o'clock yesterday morning. The funeral services will be held from the late residence at seven thirty o'clock this evening. At seven o'clock Thursday morning the body will be brought to Geneva for burial.
"Rev. Gregory was born in Shelby County and was seventy-four years of age. He was a southern Methodist minister and had been engaged in the ministry since his early manhood. Because of his age and failing health he had no regular charge in recent years, yet he preached from time to time and many there were who sought opportunities of listening to his sermons, which were ever fraught with words of wisdom and earnest pleas for the better and higher life. His last regular charge was at Green Valley, Brown County. He was three times married and is survived by a widow and five children. The children are Prof. C.A. Gregory, a high school teacher; Ira Gregory, of Shelby county; Mack Gregory, of Waldron; Mrs. Carey Hatten, of Geneva, and Wilbur Gregory, of Kansas."
