About Stephen S. Gregory

Early life and education

Stephen S. Gregory was born in Unadilla, New York on November 16, 1849. He was the brother of Charles Noble Gregory, himself a distinguished writer on legal subjects. His family moved to Madison, Wisconsin in 1858. He was educated at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, receiving an A.B. in 1870, an LL.B. in 1871, and an A.M. in 1873. After this effort failed, Gregory visited with Prendergast at the Cook County Jail five minutes prior to his execution and was allowed to shake his client's hand one last time and exchange a few last words with him. Gregory worked as a special counsel for the City of Chicago alongside John S. Miller to present the city's positions to the United States Supreme Court in the case Missouri v. Illinois, in which the court agreed with the constitutionality and regularity of the Sanitary District of Chicago.

Gregory died at his home in Chicago on October 24, 1920.
