From: The Fayetteville Democrat, Fri., August 20, 1886, page 3, col 4.

"Mrs Virgie Gray, the esteemed and fond wife of Col. O C Gray, was buried
Wednesday evening.

Mrs Gray has been long time a sufferer, having been confined to her room
for weeks, but has at last, crossed over the cold river of death.

She was a most estimable lady, a loving Christian wife and mother. No lady
had more friends in Fayetteville Than Mrs Gray, She was a pleasant and
accompished companion, a generous friend, and while the community grieves
her loss and extends condolences to the bereaved family, no one will miss
her like Col Gray."

also same paper, to wit:

"As a demonstration of sorrow and respect for the burial of Mrs Gray on
Wednesday the business houses very fitly closed their doors. An act which
was right."
