JAMES W. KREGAR

  James W. Kregar of Draketown, son of the late Fred C. and Mary Ann Phillippi 
Kregar, died suddenly from a cerebral hemorrhage Monday morning, Feb. 26.
  Mr. Kregar was a native of the Draketown district, one of the old and historic 
settlements in Somerset County, and a descendant of one of the pioneer families.  
He was a farmer by occupation and well liked and known.  He is survived by his 
wife, Mrs. Edna Hyatt Kregar, also a descendant of a pioneer family, and the 
following children: Harry and Glenn, Confluence; Mrs. Ruth McNabb, Mrs. Bertha 
Shea, Mrs. Dotty Hunter, Carl Kregar, Mildred Kregar and Mrs. Gladys Whisner, 
all of Cumberland, Md., and Charles and Myra, at home.  He is also survived by 
two sisters, Mrs. Alma Rush, of Connellsville, and Mrs. J. E. Vanneman of 
Confluence.  Funeral services were held at the Jersey Church at 2 o'clock 
Thursday afternoon, following a short service at the home.  The funeral was a 
large one, the Kregar and Enos families being kin, relatives attended both 
funerals.  Rev. S. A. Handley of Indian Head, pastor of the Church of God, had 
charge of the service.  Undertaker Brooke of Indian Head had charge of the 
burial.
