"Matilda J. Deepy was born in Preble county, Ohio, March 5, 1843, and moved with her parents to Iowa about 1859 to '60; was married in Summitsville, Iowa, to J.W. Gray in 1863.
"Mr. and Mrs. Gray moved to Illinois in 1864, to North Dakota in 1893 and to Latah county in 1902.
"To this union were born three daughters and three sons, all now living; Mrs. E.E. Hairgrove of Kansas City, Mo.; Mrs. Frank Beatty and Mrs. G.W. Blackorby of Moscow; C.B. Gray of Alberta, Canada; J.L. Gray of Tacoma, Wash., and John Gray of Moscow. Mrs. Gray also leaves three sisters and five brothers: Mrs. John Johnson of Auburn, Ill.; Mrs. James Wedrick of Keokuk, Iowa, and Mrs. Elizabeth Keefer of Louisiana; J.L. Deepy of Divernon, Ill.; John Deepy of Chillicothy, Mo.; Milton and Pearson of Oklahoma.
"Mrs. Gray was converted in Lowder in 1870 and united with the M.E. church and her beautiful christian life will ever be a sweet perfume in the memory of those who knew her. She was stricken with paralysis January 10, 1907, since when she has been entirely helpless but very patient, always greeting those who called with a smile. A touching tribute was paid the memory of the departed in the Methodist church by Rev. B.E. Koontz January 31 from Phil. 1-21. The choir beautifully rendered 'Streets of Gold,' a favorite with the deceased; also 'Home of the Soul' and 'Safe in the Arms of Jesus.'
"The casket was covered with flowers, lovely emblems of the resurrection. The remains were laid to rest in the Moscow cemetery, there to remain until the great day."
