James Murrey Gregory
Birth Aug 18, 1896
Death Jul 26, 1902
Printed Aug 13 1902 Okolona Messenger
Died near Okolona of scarlet fever, July 26th 1902 little James Murry Son of W.H. and Ada Gregory.
Little Murrey was a lovely promising child and at the early age of six manifested a noble spirit that would have crowned him in manhood.
His gentle, winning manner won the hearts of all who knew him and his love for his mother whom he always addressed as "little mama" was usually fervent and intense.
A few days before he was stricken with fever he came in from play and caressing her said "kiss me little mama I love you so."
How sad when these fair tender buds of humanity are gathered ere they have blossomed into maturity; how desolate the home where their bright beauty had shed a glow upon all things around and how sore and wounded the hearts that yearns for their sweet companionship.
but in the sweet assurance that we lose nothing that we ever possessed O mother! O father! be comforted! The sweet child who came to you daily asking to be kissed and telling you of his wonderful love for you is still yours and has only passed into heaven's keeping to await your coming.
