MISS GREGG GIVES
UP CHOIR POSITION
Thinks Musical Duties in School Suffi
cient Trustees Have Engaged
Mrs. Lamar Costello.
A fact of more than ordinary inter
esr in local musical circles is that Miss
Emma J. Oregg, who is away on a
vacation, is not to resume singing in
the choir of the Centre Congregational
church upon her return to Brattleboro.
Miss Gregg is spending the summer
as matron of the Vacation house at
Breezy Point, Niantic, Conn., maintain
ed for Brattleboro women, and before
leaving she notified the trustees that
she wished to be relieved of the re
sponsibility of the choir position. For
the past several Sundays Mrs. Lamar
Coslello, Avho had been singing tem
porarily in the I'niversalist church, has
been supplying in Miss Gregg's place,
and the trustees have engaged her as
a regular member of the choir.
Miss Gregg has been a member of
the choir a long time, in both ladies'
and mixed quartets and more recently
in the double .mixed quartet, and she
has rendered conscientious, eliicient and
self-sacrificing service not only in the
church services, but also in all the ac
tiA'ities of the church where music was
needed. She is instructor of music in
the public schools and often has ex
pressed a wish that her musical duties
might be a little less continuous.
