General Notes: Husband - George Eddy Franklin Gray
He received a practical education in the common schools of North Versailles township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and Duff's College, Pittsburgh. January 18, 1873, he entered the employ of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, as passenger brakeman, and remained with this corporation until October, 1879. Two years were then spent in the employ of the Dithridge Chimney Company of Pittsburgh, as invoice clerk and paymaster. On September 14, 1881, he entered the employ of the Carnegie Steel Company, Edgar Thomson Works, at that time operating under the name of Carnegie Brothers & Company, Limited, as a rail inspector in the finishing department, and at the end of three months was made a record clerk, and in October, 1886, was advanced to the position of chief clerk of the Homestead Steel Works, Munhall, Pennsylvania. In January, 1888, he went to the Allegheny Bessemer Steel Company, at Duquesne, in a similar capacity. In November, 1890, Carnegie Brothers & Company, Limited, bought out the latter, but Mr. Gray remained in charge of the office of said works until March 1, 1895, when he was transferred to the Edgar Thomson Works, as chief clerk in the accounting department. Mr. Gray had executive and financial ability; was one of the organizers of the First National Bank of Duquesne, of which he was a director for several years, and also served as a director of the McKeesport National Bank.
He always gave his allegiance to the Republican party. He served as a member of the board of health of Braddock for two years, and was elected to the town council from the third ward, October 3, 1904, to which office he was elected successively several times, and for some years served as president of that honorable body. He was elected a member and treasurer of the board of trustees of the Carnegie Free Library, Braddock, on April 15, 1902. His religious affiliation was with the United Presbyterian church; he was ordained in Homestead, February 22, 1893, and was ruling elder in the First United Presbyterian Church, Braddock. His fraternal membership was with Conclave No. 89, Improved Order of Heptasophs, of Pittsburgh. [GPHWP, 1211]
