The Creighton Banner July 3, 1941 - Dorothy Juanita Gregg was born at Dayton, Missouri, March 20, 1926, the youngest of ten children, to George and Pearl Gregg, and passed away June 28, 1941, at the Mercy hospital in Kansas City, Mo. The family, soon moved to Creighton, Mo. and Dorothy was enrolled in the cradle roll department of the Creighton Christian Sunday school. At eleven years of age Dorothy joined the Creighton, Christian church under the preaching of Mrs. Armstrong and was baptized August 1, 1937, into the communion of the church. Although she was only fifteen Years old at the time of her passing yet Dorothy lived a life beyond her years. Quite early she cultivated a taste for good reading and in this way she spent much of her leisure time. Through her reading experiences she fared forth with birds and flowers and trees, and the fairies of the child world. As a primary child she won a place in a reading contest by her very appreciative rendition of "There Are Fairies at the Corner of Our Garden." Because of ill health Dorothy was forced to be absent from school for months at a time. During these months she constantly looked forward to the day when she could go back to school, and when she was privileged to be in attendance, even though weak of body, it was always the opinion of her teachers that she did her work as well as it could be done. She had a willing mind and her mental ability was out of all comparison with her physical strength. Dorothy was not only a good little student but she cultivated the graces of an amiable disposition. All the children at school and in the community admired and loved Dorothy. There are also many friends of mature years who will miss her coming and going among them. A large part of this companionship was centered around her mother who so constantly cared for her little daughter during the years of her sickness, and whose hopes for her recovery sometimes ran high in spite of facts to the contrary. The tie between mother and daughter was a strong one. The mother gives us these quotations from a religious journal which Dorothy loved to read. "Somewhere today, among the hills of Heaven, She walks with all the stars around her, And we, who lost her here on earth, Grow happy, knowing God hath found her. "Our frail minds cannot comprehend the mind of the infinite God, and so we are often perplexed and we wonder why some are chosen, rather than others, but when the Great School Master of our soul says, 'School is out,' it is enough. We close our books and answer to roll call." In this same journal this passage was marked by Dorothy. "He sees when their footsteps falter, When their hearts grow weak and faint; He marks when their strength is failing, And listens to each complaint; He bids them rest for a season, For the pathway has grown too steep, And folded in fair, green pastures, He giveth His loved ones sleep." Dorothy leaves, besides her mother, Mrs. Pearl Gregg. Two sisters and three brothers: Mrs. Glenn Ewing of Urich, Mrs. T. M. Bugg of Independence, Paul Gregg of Independence, Raymond Gregg of Creighton and Theodore Gregg of Creighton. Mrs. Addie Stewart, her maternal grandmother, and Mrs. Nancy Peterson, her paternal grandmother, are still living. Services were at the Christian church Monday afternoon. Burial was made in the Parker cemetery beside her father, two sisters and two brothers, with Arnold's funeral service in charge.
