Berea Advertiser, Feb 22, 1895

Death of Mr. John Gray.

   Word came up town last Friday
just as we went to press, announc-
ing the death of Mr. John Gray,
one of the oldest residents of Mid-
dleburg township.  He has lived
for many years in what is known
as the Gray settlement, three miles
north of Berea.
   The funeral was held on Sunday
at the school house in that neigh-
borhood, conducted by Rev. Frank
Williams of Avon.
   The burial occurred at Woodvale
cemetery.
   Thus one by one, the first settlers
of this town pass from sight and 
join the great majority on the oth-
er shore.
   John Gray was born in Euclid,
O., April 21, 1822.  He was nine yrs.
old when he came with his father's
family to Rockport, and subse-
quently to Middleburg.  He was 
married April 4, 1847 to Sophronia
Greenough.  Of thirteen children,
eight grew up and are all still liv-
ing, namely: Albert, Helen, Lovina,
Mabel, John M., Emma, Merritt and
Arthur.
