Resident Of Noble Township
----------
         Messages were received here today concerning the death of  Mordica L. Gregory ,  a resident of Shelby county practically all his life, who passed away Sunday at the home of his daughter,  Mrs. Hattie Braden,  in Eureka, Kansas.  The body is being sent to this city for funeral and burial.  Mr. Gregory was born and reared in Noble township and was ninety-two years, four months, and twenty-two days old at the time of his death.  He was probably one of the most widely known men in the county, due to his relation to many families of the community.  Mr. Gregory had always engaged in farming and had attained a high degree of success in this field of endeavor.  He was a member of the Southern Methodist Church.  Surviving him is the daughter, at whose home he died, and one son,  Charles Gregory  in Canada.  The body will be taken to the home of   Herbert Gregory,  1028 Harrison Avenue, upon its arrival here Wednesday.  The funeral and burial will be made in the Ogden cemetery.  C.F.

HARDIN P. GREGORY
His Death Occurred Saturday Morning at His Liberty Township Home
----------
          The Democrat today is called upon to perform a sad task—announce the death of our old and esteemed friend  Hardin P. Gregory.  Trustee of Liberty Township.  Deceased was taken sick some two weeks ago, and notwithstanding his sturdy constitution, disease—the dreadful typhoid—ended his earthly career Saturday morning at 10 o’clock.  Mr. Gregory was a democrat of the old school, one of the faithful kind, whose politics, figuratively speaking, was his religion.  He was an honest man in all the words imply; has served his township, officially, faithfully and well, and will be missed by hundreds of admiring friends.  His age was about fifty-four years and the funeral occurred from the Vienna church, Rev. Peltzer officiating, Monday afternoon at two o’clock.  Interment followed in the Vienna cemetery. He leaves a widow and two children, William Gregory and Mrs. Peter Schaff.
