Obituary from The Huron Reflector (Norwalk, Ohio), 26 July 1836
Sudden & Melancholy Death
Two days since (says a Cleveland paper) we recorded the marriage of Rev. Jarvis Gregg, Professor of Sacred Rhetoric in Western Reserve College, to a lady of New Hampshire, niece of Hon. Daniel Webster, and now we are called upon to note his death. He arrived at Hudson last week; on Sunday morning had a sudden and severe attack of bilious fever, and on Tuesday night sunk in the sleep of death. It is a great loss to his friends--to the institution to which he was connected, and to the Christian ministry, in which he gave great promise of usefulness.
