Elkader Register, Thur., 02 Feb. 1899. McGregor column.

Wm. Gray, another old settler passed Wednesday afternoon. He has been ill for some time and death was not unexpected. He was active in business and social matters in town and will be missed. He leaves to mourn his loss a son, John Gray, and one daughter, Miss Carrie Gray. His funeral will likely be conducted by the Masons as he was an honored member of that fraternity.

Elkader Register, Thur., 09 Feb. 1899. McGregor column.

The funeral of Wm. Gray, under the auspices of the Masonic Lodge, was held Saturday morning at the Congregational church. It was largely attended by friends of the deceased and his family. The burial was in Pleasant Ridge
cemetery, about eight miles out.

Note: Pleasant Ridge cemetery is AKA Council Hill cemetery. The year of death on his gravestone is 1900, which is an error.
