ILLNESS FATAL FOR SANDY W. GREGORY
DURANT, Feb. 3. --- Sandy W. Gregory, aged 64 years and for 12 1/2 years a member of the Southeastern State college faculty died at a local hospital Wednesday night at 7 o'clock. He succumbed to an attack of bronchial pneumonia which he contracted seven days ago.
Funeral services were held at the First Baptist church Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock with Rev. R. C. Miller, pastor, officiating. Burial was made in Highland cemetery.
Active pallbearers were C. C. Hatchett, G. T. Stubbs, R. L. McPheron, Dr. Walter L. Blain, C. B. French and E. H. McCune.
Honorary pallbearers were members of the Men's Bible class of the First Baptist church and men of the Southeastern faculty.
BORN IN MISSOURI
Born in LaBelle, Lewis County, Missouri, May 28, 1875, the youngest of eight children, he was reared and received his early education in that state.
His father in his youth had crossed the plains in a covered wagon to participate in the gold rush to California in 1849.
Sandy Gregory was reared and educated in Missouri but moved in his early manhood to Nevada and took part in the pioneering stage of that state. During his late teens he worked on a cattle ranch and five years later was operating a gold mine and assaying office. He served one term in the Nevada state legislature and in 1904 was a delegate from Nevada to the Democratic National convention.
HOMESTEADED AT LAWTON
He came out of the west in 1906 to become a pioneer in another new state and took a homestead in the "Big Pasture" near Lawton. He served four years as county clerk of Comanche county, then re-entered the teaching profession after serving one term as county superintendent in Comanche county.
He came to Southeastern State college in 1927 as professor of government and served in that capacity until his death. He was in his classroom teaching his classes until last Friday.
He was married in 1920 at Oklahoma City to Miss Margaret Doolittle, of Guthrie, who survives him. Other survivors are four sisters, Mrs. S. V. Garnett, Nowata, Oklahoma, Mrs. Mary Thompson, Mrs. Rowland Hawkins, and Miss Linnie Gregory, all of LaBelle, Mo., one niece, Mrs. Garnett Johnson, Ardmore, and one nephew, M. R. Garnett, financial secretary of the University of Oklahoma at Norman.
Mr. Gregory had been a member of the Baptist church since youth, was a 32nd degree Mason, Woodman and was a member of the American Academy of Political and Social Science.
He was a graduate of highschool and La Granga, Mo., College, and received his B. A. degree from Oklahoma Baptist University, Shawnee. He received his M. A. degree at the University of Oklahoma, and continued his doctorate work at the University of Chicago.
ATTEND INSTITUTE
In 1936 by invitation he attended the annual Institute of International Law and Relations held by the Carnegie foundation for five weeks at the University of Michigan.
A motto always on the wall of his classroom stated, "Righteousness Exaltath A Nation," and in his teaching of government he never lost faith in the essential soundness of American government.
Always independent in thought, he voiced his convictions but held the respect and affection of those with whom he disagreed.
