Daily Local News, July 28, 1886

The “Daily Local News reported on July 28, 1886- ELIZABETH GRAY-  Among the
death notices we publish today was that of Elizabeth Gray, who died on Tuesday
morning at the residence of her brother-in-law, Richard Darlington, Sr., in West
Marlborough township. Deceased was in her 94th year, and had enjoyed good health
up to a short time before her death. She fell on Saturday last and broke the cap
of one of her knees. Her nephew, Smedley Darlington, West Chester, visited her
on Wednesday. It was thought then that she could not recover, but it was
supposed she would live very much longer than she did. As evidence of her good
memory, Mr. Darlington related that she at once greeted him upon his entering
the house with the remark, “The last time thee was to see me was on the 7th of
10th month last year.”
She was a member of Friend’s Meeting and was universally esteemed by her friends
as an estimable Christian lady.
Her maiden name was Smedley. She was born in Willistown township, where she
lived until at about the age of 40 she was married to John Gray and removed to
Londongrove township, where she resided until the death of her husband, 30 years
after.
Since that time she has made her home with her brother-in-law. She was one of
the most constant readers of the News, which she appeared to prize highly, and
to the time of her death never failed to peruse its columns daily.”
