JOHN GRAY DIES OF PNEUMONIA
John J. Gray, one of the prominent stock men of southern Idaho, died at a Boise hospital, Sunday of pneumonia. He was taken ill at Buhl and brought to Boise, his home, Saturday morning.
Mr. Gray was 51 years of age and had recently moved to Boise with his family from Bellevue. He came to Oakley from Utah county, Utah in 1887. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph R. Gray, were of the Mormon faith and died when he was 6 years old, his half brother, James Gray bringing him up.
He started his present business life as a Cassia county sheepherder and when he was 21 purchased a fourth interest in 2400 sheep, which proved the foundation of his fortune. After seeing all the ups and downs in the sheep business during the past 20 years he went into the land business in Blaine and Minidoka counties. In September 1917 he sold the greater part of his sheep and cattle interests for a sum close to three quarters of a million dollars and went to Boise to reside.
