It is with deep regret that I record the passing away of Mr. Morgan GREGORY, an old and well-known resident of the district, on his farm at "Trischgewaagd." This took place on Sunday afternoon. The deceased had gone about his usual duties, and on returning to the house in the early morning he complained of feeling indisposed. As the day went on he grew worse, and a doctor had to be summoned. When the latter arrived the sufferer had passed away. Mr. GREGORY was respected and esteemed by all sections of the population as a man of an upright and honourable character, and the news of his sudden death has cast a gloom over our small community.
