"Death Summons Elmer Gregg"
Newspaper Obituary

Mr. James Elmer Gregg, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Amsey Gregg of Cargill, passed away at the Christie St. Military Hospital, Toronto, on Friday of last week, at the early age of 30 years and 2 months. Elmer, who was well known in Walkerton, where he was two years ago assistant at the garage of the Dominion Well Supply Co. here, was born on a farm north of Eden Grove. Holding an important position in a general store in Arthur, where the remuneration was attractive, when the great European war broke out, he promptly answered the urgent call of the King and country, going over with the 71st Batt. He was shortly afterwards attached and went to France with the famous 42nd Highlanders, where he took part in some fine engagements with the enemy, notably the first battle of the Somme, where of his entire battalion only 200 survived to answer the roll call. Though he was spared, yet the enemy poured lead into his head and shoulders, and a piece of shrapnel penetrated and lodged in his spine, which he carried with him to the grave. Not only did he inhale poisonous gas, but ate berries unconsciously which had been infected by the fumes in the air. This caused a disorder of the stomach, which became more acute as time went on, and eventually developed to such a stage that six months ago he entered the Military Hospital, where the end came prematurely to one with an excellent war record in the prime of manhood. It will thus be seen that his death can be attributed indirectly, like that of so many of his comrades, to his devotion to the land he loved, the flag of which he assisted in keeping unsullied and untarnished through the horrors of war. Though somewhat reserved in manner, he was nevertheless popular, and a wide circle of friends now grieve his passing. Scarcely two years ago he was married to Miss Ida Roumey of Pinkerton, who survives him, also his parents, one brother, John, and a sister, Ruby, at home. The funeral, which took place from his parents' home in Cargill on Monday afternoon to Douglas Hill cemetery, was a particularly large and impressive one. Seldom has such a tribute of respect been paid to a departed friend as that accorded to the subject of this sketch at the last sad rites at the house and grave. The floral offerings included many tributes from patients in the institution, who for months saw the life of a comrade-in-arms slowly ebb away. The service was in charge of Rev. Mr. Lee of Pinkerton, while the burial was under the auspices of the Masonic Order, and brought together members from all the surrounding towns. The following brethren officiated as pallbearers: Messers. John Keyes, Harold Young, Walter Chisholm, Roy Brown, John Garland and William Telford.

• James farmed on Lot 7, Con 13, Greenock Twp, Bruce Co, Ontario, Canada

James married Ida May ROUMEY, daughter of Joseph ROUMEY and Mary Jane REID, on January 24, 1923 in Pinkerton, Bruce Co, Ontario, Canada.18 Ida was born on May 20, 1896 in Greenock Twp, Bruce Co, Ontario, Canada,36 died on June 29, 1988 in Walkerton, Bruce Co, Ontario, Canada aged 92, and was buried in Douglas Hill Cemetery Eden Grove, Bruce Co, Ontario, Canada. Another name for Ida was RUMIG.
