Only a few moments before he breathed his last he was well and the joy of the house. Obtaining accidently a piece of bread upon which strychnine had been placed for poisoning vermin, he must have eaten it, for in a few moments he fell and when picked up the suspicion of poison was aroused and while all was done for him in the short time that he lived, that could be done, it was of no avail. With the heart broken, sorrowing parents and near relatives of this bright little boy we are sure everyone will have none but the deepest sympathy on their great bereavement.
The funeral services were attended by a large concourse of friends and neighbors at the Baptist church on Wednesday.
The Independent can only join in the universal expression of sorrow for, and sympathy with Mr. and Mrs. Gregory in their great breavement.
