Summary
Lillian Gregg was named in the January 1961 Beaver Beacon as the person who kept volunteer firefighters supplied with hot coffee “on a mighty chilly night” while they fought the fire at the Albert Lewis home, which the paper credits with saving the house from complete destruction. The same January 1961 issue separately reports Gregg’s election as Civic Association treasurer; the fuller biographical record, including her identification as Lillian Isabel (MacDonald) Gregg (1924–2022), wife of Philip Gregg, is kept at Lillian Isabel Gregg.
Evidence and limits
The notice supplies no fuller civil identity, household record, or formal fire department role beyond the single act of supplying coffee. It is kept as its own file because it derives from a distinct item in the newspaper, though it documents the same person as Lillian Isabel Gregg.
