Surprise Them
Mr. and Mrs. Grant Bay have peaceably rounded out fifteen years of married life. In fact so harmoniously that they would not have realized the flight of time if some mischievous neighbors of theirs had not planned and executed a surprise on them last Friday evening. Once gathered at the Bay home they proceeded to jollify in proper spirit, and had a good time till morning. By the wee sma' hours of Saturday the anniversary couple were young again and their friends wished them oft return of years, and prosperity with them.

Rapid City SD -- Feb 10 -- ...young man & woman perished on
Box Elder divide in Sat's blizzard were GRANT BAY, a young ranchman, and META GRAY, a school-teacher living at Sturgis, Mead Co SD... Bay & Miss GRAY left this city in the height of the blizzard against the protests of friends ... it's supposed their team got away while they were looking for the road... country is sparsely settled & losing their way in Sat's storm meant death.
Daily Alta CA, 10 Feb 1891 "DEATH IN A BLIZZARD":
A young man named GRANT BAY, and a school-teacher, Miss GRAY, who left town with a team during the blizzard, were found by cowboys some distance from the road. They had been overcome, & it is feared that they will die.
Rome NY Roman Citizen 1890-92. Old Fulton NY paper:
PERISHED IN THE STORM
"A Number of Lives Lost in the Western Blizzard"
Rapid City SD Feb 10 -- Grant BAY, a young ranchman, started out in the teeth of the blizzard to drive MATA GRAY, a sch tea on "Fox Elder Divide," from the sch to her boarding place, 12 mi distant. They refused to heed the protests of friends.
Ranchers just in from that region report the finding of Bay & Miss GRAY frozen in a standing posture & clinging to a wire fence a few miles north of the city.
