1879, youngest son OF |. K. and Martha
Gray. His entire life was spent in this
town, until about eight years ago, when
he went to work in the insane hospital
in Worcester, Mass. He remained there
six years, when he married Miss Clara
Brooks of Shrewsbury, Mass, and came
to Wheelock to reside with his parents
a few months, when he with his wife
went to Boston, and he worked in the

wife, one son Ralph. one year old, his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. l. K. Gray, of
this village, one brother, Ora S. Gray of

tend the funeral, as he was away on
lecturing tour in the west; one sister,
Flora wife of DR.. B. D. George of Hard
wick, besides other more remote rel
atives, and hosts of sorrowing friends. 1t
can be truly said of him, "None knew
him but to love him." The funeral was
largely attended from the home OF his
parents, and the burial was in the family
lot in the village cemetery. The many
flowers with which the casket was
covered, besides several set pieces from
friends in Boston, were mute testimoni-
ais of the love of his many friends. Rev.

vice, assisted by Rev. c. Redstone of
