Gray - child of Thomas - Montgomery InGenWeb Project

Death to us is sad under any circumstances, but if possible, the saddest of all sad deaths come to those with but one child, and that taken from them by some malignant disease, such as scarlet fever, or as in the case of Thomas Gray, or Graham, diphtheria. Neighbors and friends shudder at the thought of going to the assistance and scarcely enough ventures, to care for the dead or dying. No funeral services can be held and the burial must take place as soon as practicable and every precaution taken to hold the disease in check, regardless of the feelings of friends. This to us is the saddest. -s
