  Hoyt Gregory (born 2-7-1908) was the son of Tom and Fannie Gregory.  Esther (born 5-16-1909) was the daughter of Sam and Evie Harris.  The Harris family lived in Pikes Peak in 1919.  Hoyt married Esther Laura and they lived in See Chapel, just east of his parents.
  
  They moved from there to the Pikes Peak community in 1941.  They bought Les Sinclair's farm which was located 1 3/4 miles north of the school, west side of the road on Crazy Creek.
  
  The ages of the children at that time were:  Wayne Laray "Jack" 12, Obreta Vaun 9 and Roena Marie almost 3 years old.  Roena was named for their teacher, Roena (Jones) House from See Chapel.
