William Henry Gray was born in Walworth county, Wis., January 4, 1845, and died at his home in Milton, March 17, 1918, at the age of 73 years, 2 months, and 13 days. At 12 years of age he came with his parents to Rock county, and when grown to manhood followed the vocation of farmer and was called a "typical farmer." He was of a quiet, retiring disposition and needed to be drawn out to enter with zest into any conversation. He was interested in everything that pertained to the welfare of the community in which he resided, He was a kind husband, a devoted and indulgent parent, a good neighbor and had the respect and esteem of the entire community.
He was converted in young manhood and joined the Free Baptist church at North Johnstown but since moving to Milton had attended the Congregational church.
Mr. Gray was twice married his first wife being Harriet Osborn, sister of H. R. Osborn of Milton. A son, who died in infancy, and two daughters, Ina, afterward wife of Walter Holmes and who died after a brief wedded life, and Ethel, who died at the age of 19 years, were born to this union. His second wife, formerly Miss Edith Dickinson and two daughters, Florence and Muriel, two sisters, Carrie and Elizabeth Gray of Milton, and one brother, Dexter Gray, of North Johnstown, besides a host of other relatives and friends are left to mourn his loss.
Funeral services were held at the home Thursday at 10:00 o'clock, Rev. Frank Burdick, pastor of the Congregational church officiating. The long service was rendered in a very pleasing manner by Leslie Bennett. The bearers were members of the Odd Fellows order of which he was a member. A large quantity of beautiful flowers attested the love and friendship in which he was held. The interment was in the North Johnstown cemetery.
