Died at Halifax Material: Red Granite Condition: Very good, with little erosion. Charles Curry Gregory was the son of John Gregory of Fredericton, and grandson of Thomas Gregory of Edinburgh. Record of his presence in Antigonish dates back to 1879, when he built the Mount Carmel Farm, which still stands. He was trained as a civil engineer and worked for the railway. The extension of the railway from Saint John, N.B. to Mattawankey, ME was within his purview, and in the latter part of the 19^th century he moved to the Antigonish area to oversee the eastern expansion of the rail lines. He took up law in order to assist in resolving the rising number of legal disputes arising from the operations of the railway company and was admitted to the bar in 1884. A member of the Church of England, he married a RC woman named Sarah Ann Doherty, and together they had a son named Charles Ernest. His obituary clearly states his respect within the community, noting that his “striking presence, courtly and gentlemanly disposition made him a familiar figure of all the people of this County” (The Casket, June 4, 1903). The cause of his death was a severe heart attack. C.E. Gregory, his son, graduated from King’s College, Halifax, was a veteran of the First World War, and sat on the King’s Council in Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia. C.E. died in 1932, five years after his wife. It is unknown where he is buried, as presumably it would have been with his father and wife. The stone features a number of intricate designs on its upper section, including a monogram of sorts with a large Gothic G. Peter Hill (edited by Christopher Greencorn) [ Back ]
