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.

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.
