Bio

Married to William J. Gregorius Sr. From the web site: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ne/county/platte/vitals/vitals1907.html Columbus Journal, June 26, 1907 This morning at 8 o'clock, at the Catholic church, Wm. J. Gregorius and Miss Elizabeth Farley were united in the holy bonds of matrimony, Father Marion performing the ceremony, at which only relatives and a few intimate friends of the bridal couple were present. Both bride and groom are well and favorably known, having spent most, if not all of their lives in this city. Mr. Gregorius is foreman at the Telegram office, and we feel safe in saying that he will provide abundantly for the lady of his choice. Miss Farley is a very estimable young lady and the worthy couple may rest assured that the Journal takes pleasure in adding its congratulations to those of the numerous other friends in wishing them a life of prosperity and happiness. Mr. and Mrs. Gregorius will at once go to house keeping in a residence on East Fourteenth street, which has been nicely prepared for their occupancy. ----------------------------------------------------- http://rootsweb.ancestry.com/~neplatte/vitals/vitals1955.html The Columbus Daily Telegram, July 14, 1955 DIED GREGORIOUS--Mrs. Gregorius dies; funeral services Monday Mrs. William J.
