General Notes: Husband - Col. Joseph Hughey Gray


He was educated at the common schools of his native place and followed farming pursuits with his father until the breaking out of the Civil war. In 1861 he enlisted in the One Hundred and Fifth Pennsylvania regiment, being a member of Company E. He was severely wounded at the battle of Fair Oaks and taken to the hospital, where he remained one year, after which he returned home and was shortly afterwards married and then went to Washington, D. C., to accept a position in the war department, and there remained until 1866, then returned to Pittsburgh and held the office of register of wills for three terms. At the same time he was preparing himself for the practice of law, and was later admitted to the bar and practiced until he was elected sheriff of Allegheny County, and served three years. After his term of office expired he resumed the practice of law, which he followed until his death. Politically he was a staunch Republican.
