George Gray was the second son of Caroline Alice Stephens and Henry Gray.
His Obit in the Owingsville Outlook appeared thus:
Owingsville Outlook, September 27, 1906
Strange Death. John Daugh
erty, of near, Okla, took a wagon-
loak of men to the circus at Mt.
Sterling Friday. It was agreed
that there should be no drinking
of Intoxicants by the party. On
the return home that night a
tap came off of some part of the
wagon and the men got out to
hunt for it. A negro came along
with a quart of liquor and the
bottle was passed around. George
Gray, aged 18, son of the widow
of Henry Gray, drank heavily of
the liquor and drank again on the
second round. When the wagon
reached I.B. Conyers’ farm on
lower Slate Creek some one
thinking Gray was asleep tried
to arouse him, but investigation
disclosed that he was dead. It is
said that he was never known be-
fore to drink intoxicants and was
an industrious and respected boy.
The superstitious make note of the
fact that there were thirteen per-
sons in the wagon. His death is
a singular happening because he
was in good health apparently.
