  SAMUEL GREGORY, M.D., Cottage, Huntingdon county, Pa., was born at 
Cottage, November 14, 1871, son of John and Mary O. (Cunningham) 
Gregory. His grandfather, Wesley Gregory, and his father, were both 
also natives of West township, and were farmers. The latter owned and 
cultivated 200 acres of land, and raised, bought and sold live stock. 
His politics were Republican. He was a member of the Methodist 
Episcopal church, and took a live and active interest in church work. 
John Gregory was married at Ennisville, Huntingdon county; his wife, 
Mary O. Cunningham, is a native of that place. Their children are:

Valley academy; then he taught school for two terms, attending the West 
Chester State Normal School in the intervals between terms. This course 
ended, Mr. Gregory taught school for three years at Mooresville, during 
which time he read medicine with Dr. G. W. Lupfer. At the end of that 
time, he became a student at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, 
Baltimore, Md., where he attended lectures for three winters, occupying 
the vacations in medical readings and in dealing in stock, in which he 
was fairly successful. He graduated with honors in the spring of 1896.
