Gregory - Effie May
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal September 1. 1893
Little Effie May, youngest daughter of Thomas and Martha Gregory, departed this life Saturday, August 26, 1893, after a severe illness of great suffering and pain, aged 7 years, 6 months, 1 day. She leaves a fond father and mother, three brothers, one sister, and a host of loving relatives and friends to mourn her loss. Her little body was laid to rest in Dover cemetery, Boone county. And now she is sweetly sleeping in the arms of that dear One. Effie was a loving little pet of the family and all who knew her. "To know her was to love her." She has been a little cripple since last February, from a fall on the ice, and although she suffered greatly, she was ever patient and happy. How we will miss the dear little one but God knows best when the dear ones are taken. - transcribed by Kim H - thanks muches :) kbz
