DIED
GREGORY- At her home in this city, Monday September 20, 1886, of
heart disease, Mrs. Sarah Gregory, wife of W. C. Gregory, Esq.
Though she had been an invalid for four years, her death was
rather sudden, as she had been able to ride out on the Saturday
before. Mrs. Gregory was the daughter of W. C. Bell, a merchant
and prominent citizen of Bellevue at an early day. She was born
in Birmingham, Ohio, in February, 1845, and came to this county
with her parents in 1855; was married to Mr. Gregory in Farmers
Creek Township in 1861. He and two sons-two children having
died-mourn the loss of an exemplary wife and mother. The funeral
occurred from the house at 3 o’clock, yesterday afternoon.
