NATHAN GREGG.

Nathan Gregg, well known in financial circles in Denver as a
prominent investment broker, was born in Shreveport, Louisiana, on the
30th of December, 1873. His father, Nathan Gregg, was born in Alabama
and in early life engaged in the wholesale grocery business but
following his removal to Denver turned his attention to the lumber
business. He took up his abode here in 1892 and continued a resident of
the city to the time of his demise. His wife, who bore the maiden name
of Belle Wilson and was also a native of Alabama, has passed away.

Nathan Gregg is one of a family of six children, five of whom are
yet living, three brothers and two sisters. He acquired his education
in private schools at Shreveport, Louisiana, and then turned his
attention to the line of business in which his father was engaged,
spending a few years in the employ of the Mowat Lumber Company. He was
afterward appointed military secretary to Governor Adams and served in
that position through his term and also during a part of the
administration of Governor Thomas. At length, however, he turned his
attention to the investment business, which he has since carried on,
being now senior member of the firm of Gregg, Whitehead & Company,
Investment bankers at the First National Bank building, who are members
of the Denver Bond Dealers Association and the Investment Bankers
Association of America. He is thoroughly familiar with the value of
bonds and other investments and has won a large clientage, his business
having now assumed extensive and gratifying proportions.

In 1897 Mr. Gregg was united in marriage to Miss Isa Steams, of
Denver, who is a granddaughter of ex-Governor Hunt and is a recognized
leader in the social circles of this city. Mr. and Mrs. Gregg have a
son, Hamilton, nineteen years of age, who is a graduate of the East
Denver high school. In club circles of the city Mr. Gregg is well
known, having membership in the Denver Athletic Club, the Denver
Country Club and the Denver Motor Club, and he is also a member of the
Civic and Commercial Association, looking to the upbuilding of the city
along material lines and to the advancement of its civic standards. His
ideals in this connection are high and he puts forth every possible
effort to secure their attainment. He is a man of genuine personal
worth who has built up a business of extensive proportions, merit and
ability bringing him to his present place in financial circles.
