• Name	Jesse Gray
  Birth	26 May 1831	Groveland, Livingston County, New York
  Gender	Male
  Death	11 Oct 1908	Wayland, Steuben County, New York
  Burial	Lakeside Cemetery, Wayland, Steuben County, New York
  Notes	Lived in South Dansville,NY and later in Fremont,NY and still later in Wayland,NY (Loon Lake), where he was engaged in farming around the turn of the century. 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. (Loon Lake News, October 14, 1908)
