Members of the Holy Name Society will pray the rosary at 7:30 and the Knights of Columbus at 7:15. B.A. Gregory, prominent funeral director and owner of the Gregory Funeral home died of angina pectoris at his home, 109 North Main Street, about 8 o'clock Saturday night. Mr Gregory's last illness was of brief duration. Stricken with a heart attack early Tuesday afternoon, he remained in a serious condition until death claimed him. Although Mr Gregory had been in ill health for the last few years he had given full attention to his business until his death. He passed away at the age of 65. His family was all here when death came, a daughter, Sister Mary Denis of Wichita, Kansas and son, Joseph Gregory of St Louis having arrived on Thanksgiving Day. The body is resting at the family home until the time of the funeral services. Solemn requiem high mass will be read at the rites which will be held at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning at St Joseph's church. The Very Rev. P.T. Lynch will be the celebrant of the mass. Burial will be in the parish cemetery. Funeral services will be under the direction of the Huffman Funeral Home, assisted by Joseph Belsch, who has been with Mr Gregory for the last 10 years and Ben Luft of Denison, Amos Sian of Des Moines and Robert Hamilton of Carroll, who served their apprecticeships under Mr Gregory. Mr. Gregory had an interesting life. He was born Sept 19, 1873 at Washington, MO, a son of Mr and Mrs Joseph Gregory. His father was a Virginian and his mother a native of Missouri. After attending school, he secured employment with the Missouri Meerschaum Pipe Company, an extensive pipe manufacturing concern. Beginning at the bottom of the firms employes, Mr Gregory worked his way through different positions until he was sent out as a representative of the company. In such capacity he was located at Farley, Iowa where he met Miss Mary Cunningham, who became his bride at Farley Sept 8, 1898. After their marriage Mr and Mrs Gregory lived at Cedar Rapids for a short time. Mr Gregory then took work with Mrs Gregorys father, Patrick F Cunningham, a railroad builder who had previously helped build the Chicago and North Western Railroad tracks through Carroll. Mr and Mrs Gregory went from Cedar Rapids to Oklahoma, where Mr Cunningham and Mr Gregory built hundreds of miles of railroad. After completing that work, Mr and Mrs Gregory returned to Farley, where Mr Gregory engaged in the furniture and undertaking business. They had lived at Farley for about nine years when Mr Gregory disposed of his business there and went to Corning to engage in the undertaking business, subsequently locating at Red Oak, where he was in the exclusive undertaking business for 12 years. The next year and a half he spent at Mason City from which place Mr and Mrs Gregory and family came to Carroll in November 1922. During the first few years that the family lived here, Mr Gregory was associated in the undertaking with Edward Garry... The rest of the obituary newpaper print was too light to read.
