The members of the NJ. f. church. as
well as all Of our townspeople,
will learn with sorrow of the death of
the former presiding elder and pastor,
Rev. Oren Gregg. Perhaps no one who
has ministered here has endeared him
self in such degree to everybody and
caused so general mourning at his death
as Mr.. Gregg. By his kindness and cour-
teous ways at all times and strict Chris
tian walk he made all who came into his
presence to love and respect him and his
Master. The impressions thus made re-
main, although he has been called up
higher. The cause of his death was a
cancer upon his lip, which gave him much
trouble while here. His suffering at the
last was intense, but we doubt not that
it was borne with entire submission. He
was a brother of Mrs. Mott of this vii
lage.
