“Stevenson”
On Thursday morning, January 19, Nicholas Gregorius, one of the pioneers of the Carson Country, passed into the great beyond, from an attack of heart trouble from which he has been suffering for about six years. Mr. Gregorius was one of the old settlers of the county, having settled on a homestead near Sprague Landing at the mouth of Carson Creek, in Skamania County, in 1890. When the S.P. & S. railroad was built the right of way took most of the old place and after the town of Carson was formed he opened a small bakery there, which he operated for several years. Mr. Gregorius brought the first ice machine into Skamania County and built and operated the first ice plant, which is still in operation. Mr. Gregorius was born in Germany June 15, 1860 and emigrated to the United States at the age of 25 years. He settled in Kansas where he lived five years. Coming west to be located at The Dalles, Ore., then moved to Cascade Locks where he helped build the government locks. From there he came to Carson in 1890. He leaves surviving him, his widow, Mary Gregorius, a son, Joe Gregorius of Carson, Wash., and a sister and brother in Kansas City.
