-DIED-At his home in St. Louis, A. M. CREGO, Tuesday Jan. 18th, 1887 at 2 o'clock P. M. after an illness of only five days, of pneumonia. Mr. CREGO was a young man, thirty-seven years old, of sober, industrious habits, and was very highly respected in this community. He was a member of the St. Louis fire department, which turned out and participated in the sad rites, which occured at the Presbyterian church. Mr. CREGO leaves a wife and daughter to mourn his untimely death. The deceased was the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. j. S. CREGO, of Beaver Creek township. (17 Feb 1887)-A DAMNABLE OUTRAGE!
JUDGE LYNCH PROUNCES THE PENALTY OF DEATH.
Last Monday afternoon, Mrs. J. S. CREGO, of Beaver Creek, a lady sixty three years of age, and infirm, was at home alone when a beast in human form entered the house and committed the most hellish crime conceivable leaving her in a critical condition from the injuries received. From there the brute went to Arthur MARVIN's and stopped ostensibly to enquire the way to a lumber camp. Finding Mrs. MARVIN alone, he assaulted her and repeated his damnable outrage, though fought with desperation until she was beaten and choked to insensibility.
As soon as the alarm was given the citizens started on his track. Word was telegraphed from here and T. E. HASTINGS, of Beaver Creek, took his track and found the brute in the depot at Roscommon and secured him after a quick struggle. He was brought here Tuesday morning and there being no cells in the jail, he was securely shackled and guarded in the court house, where hundreds viewed him as they would a wild beast.
In the afternoon rumors of rescue and revenge were rife, and the sheriff quietly removed him to a private residence where he remained personally on guard till about one o'clock in the morning when the house was quickly and quietly surrounded by a large body of masked and disguised men who entered from different ways and overpowered the sheriff before an alarm could be given and dragged down the shackled victim from the upper room, taking him to a little grove in the north part of the village where a scaffold had been provided by placing a scantling across the limbs of two trees. Here he was strung up, without mercy, if with justice, to pay the penalty of his crime. He had confessed his guilt and had been fully identified by Mrs. MARVIN so there is no possibility of mistake in the man. While little, if any sympathy is expressed for him, yet all must regret that the majesty of the law should be trampled on in our midst, and that another crime should be added to those already committed.
As soon as the sheriff was released a searching party was organized and the body found hanging as above described, with life extinct. It was placed in the hands of Coroner WOODWORTH, who gave it sepulture.
The criminal's name was Archibald PELOM, a Frenchman, whose reputtation was thoroughly bad.
The disguise of the party was so perfect and their work so quickly performed that no one was recognized and it is probable that none of them will be discovered. (8 Nov 1888)-J. S. CREGO, of Beaver Creek, was the guest of his son Frank, last Thursday and Friday. (8 Aug 1889)
-Mr. and Mrs. J. S. CREGO leave for the Soldier's Home at Grand Rapids, this week, where they will reside hereafter. They will not occupy the Grayling Rest, as they prefer a room on the ground floor. (22 Mar 1894)
-Word has been received from the officers of the Soldier's Home that Mrs. J. S. CREGO is occupying the room furnished by Grayling W. R. C., but that Mr. CREGO, whose mind is failing fast, would have to go into the hospital, and if he did not improve, be sent to the Asylum. (5 Apr 1894)

Our village was shocked as seldom before, last Monday morning, on learning of the death of Miss Allice CULVER in her rooms in the residence occupied by Mr. BEEBE, on Spruce street. As she had not appeared at eight o'clock, Mrs. BEEBE knocked at her door and receiving no reply felt alarmed, and called a neighbor, and entered the room where she laid in apparent peacefull sleep, but as she did not answer their call; they took her hand which was already chilled in death. Dr. TOMLINSON was summoned and found the spark of life entirely extinguished.
She had attended church sunday morning and seemed to be in usual health and spirits, and no one seemed to notice anything unusual in her appearance.
Brief funeral services were held at the residence of her sister Mrs. G. L. ALEXANDER Thursday evening, Rev. J. H. FLEMMING officating and the body was taken to Bellville, to be laid beside her mother.
The deceased was born in Ithica, N. Y., and came to this state with her parents when she was two years of age, and spent her childhood in Mt. Clemens and Bellville, graduating from the high school at Mt. Clemens. With her father and the family she came to this county about thirty-four years ago, locating in the township of Center Plains, when she came to Grayling and has resided here for the past nineteen years. She was a charter member of the good-fellow-ship Club, which was organized twelve years ago, and has served as President and Secretary of the club, being reorganized as a superior literary student and scholar.
Of her family, only Mrs. ALEXANDER and her brother Fred CULVOR of Saginaw survive. (14 Oct 1909)
