I came across another sad obituary out of the Evansville Courier & Press (December 12th 1930).
C.E. Gregg is an interesting man to learn about. He was born with the name Clarence, but after a few censuses, he went by the first name Charles or Charlie instead.
As a matter of fact, he had a younger brother named Charles, who also went by Charlie...and yes, they were absolutely two separate people, and not twins, either!

**It says: Man, 73, Dies Burying Horse. Henderson, Ky, Dec 11--- (AP) C.E. Gregg, 73-year-old farmer, dropped dead while burying a horse today. He hitched a team to the animal's body, dragged it to a desolate section of his farm, and as he was digging a grave he was stricken. Heart trouble was given as the cause. He leaves one son and three daughters.**
You never know just what you might find when looking back at old newspapers (whether on Newspapers.com or GenealogyBank.com). I don't know about y'all, but I love looking back at the older newspapers and seeing how different the world used to be.
