- From "The Rock County Herald", Luverne, Minnesota.
- Clarence V. GRAY, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. GRAY,
passed away Sunday
- morning at 9 o'clock at the home of his parents, southeast
of town. Funeral services, conducted by Rev. A. H. Carver,
were held from the GRAY home Tuesday at 2 o'clock and
the body was laid to rest in Maplewood. The pallbearers were
B. E. LEAS, C. A. JOLES, Leslie BARNETT,
D. M. MAIN, E. W. BROWN and E. A. HILKE.
- Clarence Vincent GRAY was born on the 5th day of December,
1876, at Milton
- Junction, Wis. He came with his parents to Rock county
seventeen years ago, and has since made his home here.
- The deceased had not enjoyed good health since he was thirteen
years of age, suffering
- more or less from asthma, and for the last six months he
had been afflicted with dropsy of the heart, which was the cause
of death. During the latter part of the winter and the early
spring his condition was very critical, but several weeks ago
he appeared to be improving and his condition since that time
seemed to give his parents and friends grounds for renewed hope
for his ultimate recovery.
- On the morning of his death he was sitting by the window
watching one of the work-
- man on the farm making preparations to drive to Luverne and
had just commented on the condition of the buggy, when he was
stricken and he expired before he could be removed from the chair.
- The deceased was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. GRAY,
and this fact, coupled with
- the further fact that the condition of his health had for
years necessitated the administrations of his parents to a greater
or less degree, serves to intensify the great loss which they
have sustained.
- He was a man of most exemplary character and his friends
were only limited by the
- number of his acquaintances, all of whom deeply regret his
demise and extend heartfelt sympathy to the surviving parents.
