William E. Gregory died at Elkhorn in 1846. His widow, Olive, daughter of Nathaniel and Isabel Colburn, was born at Hawley. Massachusetts, July 28. 1805, and married in 1827. She died April 17, 1891. Her children were William Elliott, who went to Galveston and died November 13, 1895, aged sixty-four years. His brother Asaph, born in 1830, died at Elkhorn November 22, 1879. Elizabeth became, first, Mrs. Michael Thompson, second, Mrs. Bowe. Louise, born 1836, went to Nebraska after her mother’s death. Mr. Gregory left his family in comfortable circumstances, and Elliott prospered honorably at Galveston. Asaph was not wholly a bad fellow, though it is not recalled that he had more than one positively good quality. He would say mean true things to men whom none else cared so to affront, but who were better men than he, and who sometimes needed such reminders that they were not impeccable. He was unmarried.
