PIONEER WOMAN DIED IN STREETMAN YESTERDAY
Oldest Member of the Well-known Grayson Family Passed Away at Home in
Streetman.
At 4 o'clock yesterday morning, one of the pioneers of Navarro County,
"Grandma" Grayson, passed away at the home of her son, W. S. Grayson, in
Streetman, after an illness which has been hopeless for the past few days. She
was surrounded by her relatives when the end came, and a large concourse of the
family's friends followed the remains to their last resting place yesterday,
interment at Winkler.

It was at Winkler that the family settled before the Civil War, when the
deceased and her husband, Dr. Grayson, were a happy young people. They lived
there for many years and the family was one of the most prominent in this
section of the State. A few years ago, several members of the family moved to
Streetman and for the past few years, Mrs. Grayson has resided there with her
son. She is survived by three sons, Wm. S. Charles and John.

There are numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren, among whom are
several in this city, as follows: Mrs. Dexter Hamilton, Mrs. R. Douglas
Johnson, Mrs. Lloyd Kerr and Miss Mary McConnico.

Corsicana Sun, Aug. 4.
  Mrs. Grayson had friends in Freestone county who will regret to learn of her 
death. Her son, C. B. Grayson, of Fairfield, was with her in her last hours.
