GRAY was born April 21, 1844, near Osgood, Ripley county, Indiana, departed September 9, 1912, at his home near Greenville, Michigan, aged 68 years, 4 months and 17 days. During his younger life he was a favorite among his associates. At the age of 18 years he enlisted in the union service, a member of Co F, 83rd regiment, Ind. Inf. As a soldier he was always brave and true to his country and loyal to "Old Glory." He was in twenty-three of the leading battles and skirmishes, a few of which were the battles of Vicksburg, Chickamauga, New Hopes church, Lookout Mountain, Sacramento, Missionary ridge, Resace and other. He was with Gen. Sherman on his march to the sea, and took part in many other campaigns. Never were the comrades of ‘61 forgotten by this dear veteran, as some of his last words were: "Comrade, comrade, March!" After his discharge from the union service he lived with his mother for a number of years until January 29, 1885, when he was united in marriage to Elizabeth MURRAY. After their marriage they moved to Rochester, where their two sons, Fred and Charles, were born. After residing in Fulton county for twenty-five years, Mr. Gray and his family moved to Harlan, Michigan, where they lived for five years. Then selling their farm they bought a small fruit farm near Greenville, Michigan, which he intended to make his future home, but was called away in his most happy hours. His presence will be missed for many a day by the family circle and as a fellow citizen he was honest and progressive, always ready to lend a hand to those in distress or need; never was a stranger turned from his door unfed. He was a lover of little children and the wild birds of the woods. As a husband and father, never can there be said enough of an affectionate and loving man. He was united with the Christian Science church a number of years ago, which faith he trusted in until the last. He leaves a wife, two sons, two sisters and one brother to mourn their loss. Fred [GRAY] and Charles GRAY, Martha RUTLEDGE, Elwood, Indiana; Mrs. Mary BEECRAFT of Rochester, and Eben GRAY of Huntington. George W. Gray was a member of the Greenville G.A.R. post. Funeral services were conducted on Thursday afternoon at the home of J. F. FULTZ by Rev. John D. KRUWEL. Burial in I.O.O.F. cemetery.
