WILLIAM B. GRAY.
In Niles, Wednesday morning, May 13, 1885, after intense suffering, William B. Gray, in the sixty-fifth year of his age. William Bartley Gray was born of Irish parents at Fairfield, Rockbridge county, Virginia, July 8, 1820. His parents emigrated to Richmond, Indiana, in 1825, and removed to the Carey settlement, afterwards called Niles, in 1829, in company with the Lacey family, the Comleys, William Justice and others, first settlers here. Coming to this then new country a child, he has grown up to manhood, and been a continuous resident here from the time of his coming to the day of his death, and is mourned by the entire community, for all knew Bartley Gray, and none knew him but to love him.
