Harold the youngest was only 1 at the time and in poor health so was immediately taken to the home of their grandmother, Amanda Lesh. Soon afterward the other two youngest, Clara, age 9, and Fred, age 6, followed to their grandmother's house as John was unable to take care of them and make a living. The older two children, Bert, age 14, and Edward, age 12, were able to provide for themselves. Bert moved to Colorado soon after and Edward moved to Washington a few years later. In 1899, John was a resident of Van Buren, Grant County, and had resided there for three years, employed at pumping in the oil field. During this time he made about $60 per month. Clara married Sherman Paxson on 26 Sep 1902 and moved out. Fred moved to Colorado with his brother Bert for awhile and married Faye Hadley about 1911 in Colorado, then they moved to California. Harold was the only child left living with Amanda when a terrible accident happened. On 21 Oct 1920 Amada Lesh, aged 70, was burned so badly that she was not expected to recover as the result of an explosion of a can of kerosene at her home five miles north of Liberty Center. Harold Gregg, her grandson, who was raised in the Lesh home, heard the explosion from his room upstairs and climbed down a porch to get to the kitchen to drag the aged woman away from the flames. Her clothes were burning, but he extinguished the flame by the aid of a blanket. Mrs. Lesh was terribly burned about the head and chest. Neighbors rushed in and saved the dwelling which was badly gutted. Amanda died the next day from her burns. John R. Gregg died on 17 Jun 1933, Bluffton, Wells, Indiana and was buried in St. Paul Cemetery, Uniondale, Wells County, Indiana.
