Ok folks, time to put on your thinking caps - A visitor writes they've come across an artifact with this inscription and would like to know more about the person and/or the person's family: Rev. C.

Here is a copy of a letter from Rev. Caspar Gregory's wife, Mary, detailing some information about their children: BEVERLY, June 9, 1894. My Dear Mrs. Jessup: It was with sincere pleasure I read your letter this morning and thank you very much for the remembrance. It is not a possible thing for me to be with you, nor any of my family, much as I would like to. If you knew what a household name Oneida is, you would understand somewhat of the love I have for the dear church and people there, many of whom have joined my husband in the land where changes do not come. My family is very much scattered. My daughters Mary and Anna are with me in Beverly, where we have lived since my husband's death. My daughter Edith has a college preparatory school in New York City. My three sons are out West, as also my eldest daughter, Lizzie (Mrs. Dickson), who lives in St. Paul, Minn. I suppose you know my son, Caspar R. Gregory, pastor of the Memorial Church, Wilkesbarre, Pa., joined his father two years ago last December, much lamented by his people, and a great sorrow to me. We often talked of Oneida, and he purposed at some time to visit there, although he was only four years old when we left. I hardly think the Oneida church and people can be any more dear to the hearts of you and your husband than they were to me and mine. We loved them very dearly, and I am always on the lookout for any notice of the church and its work in the papers. A host of names crowd to mind to whom I would like to send greeting, and be assured that the Oneida church, with pastor and people, will always have a warm place in my heart. Your friend, Mary L. Gregory. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Stowell" <tstowell@chattanooga.net> To: <NYMADISO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, May 23, 2005 1:14 AM Subject: [NYMADISO] Thinking cap time > Ok folks, time to put on your thinking caps - > > A visitor writes they've come across an artifact with this inscription and > would like to know > more about the person and/or the person's family: > > Rev.
