- Jesse Gray died at his home in this place, Sunday morning, October 11, 1908, after an illness of several months. Mr. Gray suffered a shock of paralysis three years ago from which he never recovered. He was born in Conesus, N.Y., in May, 1831, and was the last surviving member of a family of fourteen. He married Miss Hannah Faulkner over fifty years ago and for the past forty-one years has been a resident of this place. Six children were born to them, four of whom are living, William of Washington, Clarence of Atlanta, Herbert of South Dansville, and Mrs. Fred Rex of Atlanta. In early life he united himself with the M.E. church in this place and has since been one of the most faithful members. He did not need to be urged to or in any good work and by his death the church loses a member whose place will not be easily filled. Mr. Gray possessed a genial disposition, which won for him many friends who deeply mourn his loss…The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at the M.E. church at 2 o’clock, Rev. G.W. Richmire of North Cohocton officiating. Interment in Loon Lake cemetery.
