OBITUARY: Barry Adage Newspaper, Barry, Pike, IL, Wed., Nov. 22, 1911: Burton T. Gray, youngest son of Daniel H. and Naomi Thomas Gray, was born in Berlin, NY, Feb. 5, 1822, and passed on to the great beyond at his home in Barry, Ill. at 11:45 pm, Nov. 16, 1911, having attained the age of 80 yrs, 9 mos. and 11 days. He came to Atlas, Pike County, Ill. in May, 1830, with his parents, and, needless to say, endured the privations of early pioneer life. In 1836 he came to Barry, Ill, and made his home with his brother Daniel for several years.
He later went to live with his uncle, Schuyler Gray, where he learned the carpenter trade. He continued his work here until he enlisted in the Mexican war in May, 1847. He was honorably discharged Oct. 13, 1848. On returning to Barry he built his home in which he has since lived. He was converted and baptized by Rev. Joel Sweet on his 21st birthday and has since been a member of the First Baptist church of Barry, Ill. He remained faithful to his church and God until the end. He was married to Sophronia Babcock Feb. 28, 1850. To this union were born four children, two of whom preceded him to the better world. The two remaining are Mrs. R.F. Evans, of Barry, Ill., and F. R. Gray, of Pittsburg, Pa. His wife departed this life August 27, 1859. He was married to Maria Brown July 3, 1860. She died Nov. 4, 1890, again leaving him alone. He lived alone most of the time until his marriage with Mrs. Mary B. Johnson Jan. 22, 1896. His declining years were spent very happily until the death of his wife, which occurred Oct. 18, 1907, which saddened his remaining years. His daughter and family have made their home with him for the past three years. He leaves to mourn his loss one daughter, Mrs. R.F. Evans, and her husband, and son, F.R. Gray; 7 grandchildren & 1 gr-grchild. The G.A.R. attended the funeral.
