SUICIDE WITH SHOTGUN
DAVID GREGG, 53, ENDS LIFE AT CREIGHTON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON
About 5 p.m. Wednesday, David Gregg, 53, went to the back porch of his home in Creighton and blew off the top of his head with a shotgun. Mr. Gregg lived there with his 87-year-old mother, Mrs. Nan Gregg-Peterson, who is just beginning to get around on crutches after having broken her hip some months ago. Mrs. Gregg told Dr. Ed Griffith, coroner, that her son had been despondent. He had informed his mother he was going hunting when he went out the door with his gun.
In addition to his mother, Mr Gregg is survived by three sisters, Mrs. Lloyd Kinnison of Pleasant Hill, Mrs. Ella Miller of Grandview and Mrs Myrtle Morris of LaCygne, KS. Funeral services will be held Friday in Creighton.
