Mr. McCray was well known and very popular to Agricola and vicinity, Waverly and Ottawa. The following extract concerning the deceased is taken from an Ottawa paper:
"Albert McCray was a nephew of the late H. D. Crane. He came to Ottawa from Anamosa, Ia., in the early 70's and for twenty years was employed as a miller in the mills of his uncle here. He retired from the mills in 1891 and with H. W. Furness engaged in the grocery business in North Ottawa, where he remained until 1897, when he disposed of his interedt and removed to Agricola. At the latter place he had since been engaged in the business of a general merchant. Mr. McCray had been twice married; his first wife was Miss Nellie Lucas. The widow was Mrs. Julia Knickerbocker. There were children by the first union, but they did not survive."
Mr. McCray was a Mason and a member of the Modern Woodmen of America. Internment was made in the Agricola cemetery, Waverly lodge No. 244, A. F. & A. M., of which he was a member, conducting the services.
