Fri., August 20, 1886, page 3, col 4. 

"Mrs Virgie Gray, the esteemed and fond wife of Col. O C Gray, was buried Wednesday
evening. 
Mrs Gray has been long time a sufferer, having been confined to her room for weeks,
but has at last, crossed over the cold river of death. 
She was a most estimable lady, a loving Christian wife and mother. No lady had more
friends in Fayetteville than Mrs Gray, She was a pleasant and accompished companion,
a generous friend, and while the community grieves her loss and extends condolences
to the bereaved family, no one will miss her like Col Gray." 

also same paper, to wit: 
"As a demonstration of sorrow and respect for the burial of Mrs Gray on Wednesday
the business houses very fitly closed their doors. An act which was right."
