The Springdale News from The Berryville Progress (Arkansas)
January 26, 1912
C.H. Gregory who came to this country about two weeks ago with Jake Dean when the latter returned from Oklahoma, was burned to death in a house north of Grand View Sunday morning. Gregory had been sick and on Saturday some of the neighbors cut a lot of wood for him. Early Sunday morning the house was seen to be on fire. When parties arrived it had burned down and his body, from which his head and limbs had been burned, was found among the burning embers. Coroner C.A. George was notified. The jury, which was impanelled to hold the inquest returned a verdict, "Came to his death by burning." It is supposed that the house caught fire from a spark from the fireplace and that the old gentleman was unable to get out on account of his illness. In the ashes were he was partly consumed were found his watch, a bunch of keys and $2.64 in money. It is not thought to be a case of robbery as it was generally understood in the neighborhood that he was a man without means. He was 62 years old, a member of the Christian church and carried life insurance. His son, J.H. Gregory, arrived on Monday's train and shipped the body to Atchison, Kansas for burial. The young man is from St. Joseph, Mo. and is a traveling freight agent for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad and its branch lines.
