The funeral of Rev. Dr. E. J. Gregg who died at the residence of Mrs. Mary Gordon, 1367 N. Carey street last Friday morning after several month's illness from a complication of diseases, took place on Monday afternoon at St. John's A. M. E. Church. The services were in charge of the Baltimore Preacher's Meeting.

 

The eulogy was delivered by Rev. A. L. Gaines. Others who took part in the services included Revs. John Hurst, L. S. Flag, D. P. Seaton, Joseph Gwynn, P. J. Jordan, J. W. Norris, P. H. Green, C. H. Murray, and David Johnson.

 

Interment was in Mt. Auburn Cemetery.

 

One sad feature of Rev. Gregg's death was that he had been in failing health since the death of his wife last February and that Rev. J. C. Waters who succeeded him at St. John's Church in April and whose place Dr. Gregg took at Chestertown, Md., died just six weeks ago.

 

A strange coincidence was that Rev. Waters and Rev. Gregg, followed each other in their pastorates in the South.

 

The deceased was born in Georgetown, S.C., about 51 years ago. He pastored a number of prominent charges in the South, and in 1904 was chosen by the A.M.E. General Conference superintendent of the Allen Christian Endeavor League. In 1908 he returned to the pastorate.

 

He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Mary P. Vanderhorst, of Georgetown, S.C., a half brother, and several children.
