Alice Florence Stone was born June 24, 1856 at Massena, St. Lawrence county, New York. She lived there until 1882, during which time she received her education, being a student of music. At an early age she united with the Baptist church of which she remained a consistent and faithful member during the rest of her life.
She came to Anita, Iowa, in 1881, where she lived with her brother, Gordon E. Stone and there taught school and music. There she met Horace Gregory, to whom she was married April 26, 1888. They made their home in Wayne, Nebraska, where their three children were born, Horace Earl, who preceded her in death, Aldula C. and Florence M. They moved from there to Payette, Idaho, which has been their home since 1903. She went to her rest peacefully Friday, May 21, 1926.
She leaves to mourn her loss her husband, H. Gregory, and two daughters, Aldula C. Anderson and Florence M. Thomas, both of Payette; two sisters, Matilda M. Stone and Aldula F. Stone; three brothers, Gordon E. Stone, Herbert O. Stone and Alfred B. Stone, all of Anita, Iowa.
Funeral services were held at the Baptist church Monday, May 24, at 2 o'clock, Rev. Dean, pastor. Interment was made in the family plot at Riverside cemetery, Payette, Idaho.
Mrs. Gregory was a woman of high ideals and true nobleness of character. To know her was to appreciate her talents and the radiance of her superior mind. Her home was her citadel and her thoughtfulness concerning the welfare of her loved ones and her friends endeared her to all. The world was made better by her life's example and she has earned Heaven's richest reward.
