Wife of Harvey Romeyn Gray: Married 6 Dec 1891. Daughter of John Atkenson & Sarah Levina Russell.
The Barry Adage, Barry, IL: The following obituary notice of Mrs. Ora A. Gray, wife of H.R. Gray, a brother of the Misses Mattie and Carrie Gray, of this city, was taken from the Downey, Calif. Champion: At her home in Downey, Feb. 15, 1903, Mrs. Ora A. Gray, wife of H.R. Gray, and daughter of Mrs. Sarah McKinney, a native of Eugene City, Oregon, aged 36 years. The funeral services were held at the residence Tues., Feb. 17, Rev. A.J. Copass officiating. Interment at Masonic cemetery, Downey. The death of Mrs. Gray was one of those startling events which come to a community as a reminder of the uncertainty of human life. Few knew that she had been sick, and the news of her sudden taking off came as a shock to her many friends. She was taken with inflammation of the stomach. Medical skill failed to check the disease, which proved fatal just in one week after the symptoms developed. While in the bloom of early womanhood, with the prospect of many years of usefulness before her the summons came, and a loving mother's life work passed to other hands. Sad, indeed it is, that a little daughter is left motherless, but such is the dispensation of Providence. A husband is also left to feel the loss of a most devoted wife, the mainstay of the family. Mrs. Gray was a home body; the management of her home was her life work. It is done; it was well done. Many were the mourners that followed the hearse to the cemetery and tenderly and lovingly consigned the body to mother earth. Another good woman has passed onward beyond life's cares and troubles to her reward.
