Obelisk erected in 1901
Obelisk is a marker for the family gravesite, but what is written on it was to far away to read, and the gate was locked and I do not tresspass...so, that goes unrecorded.
Historic marker on site reads:
Present site of
THE GRAY FAMILY CEMETERY
Former site of
The First Presbyterian Church USA
The first Presbyterian Church in Grayville was organized in 1850 under the leadership of Mrs. Thomasann Gray. In 1868 the members built a small wooden Church on this corner of the cemetery, a gift from a member of the Gray Family.
It was replaced by a large brick structure in 1915. The congregation disbanded in 2005 and the land was returned to the Gray Family.
