GREGG, H.P. – After an illness dating back to Dec. 24, 1903 when he suffered a stroke of paralysis while on the streets of Springdale, H.P. Gregg passed away Monday morning at 3:30 at his home southeast of Springdale. For some time after he was stricken with paralysis. Mr. Gregg was confined to his home but he finally got up and was able to be around. Along in March he was taken worse and since that time has been gradually going down, rheumatic trouble adding to his other afflictions. Funeral services were held at the Friendship church east of Springdale Monday afternoon at five o’clock, conducted by Rev. S.S. Graham, and the remains were interred in the cemetery near the church. Deceased was born September 22, 1842 on a farm one and a half miles south of where he died and his entire life has been spent in Washington County except for three and a half years during the war when he was serving in the Confederate army. He had been living on the farm where he died since 1869. In January 1868 Mr. Gregg was united in marriage to Miss Adelaide Nicholson and to them were born six children, all of whom but one are now living, the deceased being Mrs. Laura Eidson, who died a few weeks ago. Of the surviving children three live in this vicinity. They are Lee Gregg, Ellen, wife of Thomas Moneyhun and Maud, wife of Ras Graham. A son, John E., resides in Ringgold, Georgia and a daughter, Maggie, wife of Thomas Feeney, resides in Denver, Colorado. Mr. Gregg lost his wife August 3, 1881 and September 21, 1884 he was united in marriage to Mrs. Cordelia Ownbey, who together with three children survive him. The children are W.F., Lloyd and Elsie, age 20, 18 and 16 years respectively. Mr. Gregg was a good citizen, honest and honorable in all his dealings and was held in high esteem by all that knew him. The family of the deceased desire through The News to extend their sincere thanks to their friends for the many kindnesses shown them in their affliction.
