WHEREAS, the late Senator, C. W. McGray, Garrison, North Dakota, passed away November 19, 1941, at Long Beach, California, a short summary of his activities follows: Senator McGray was born at Prescott, Wisconsin, January 20, 1870. In 1903 he came to North Dakota and settled at old Cole Harbor where he was associated in business with his brother, Otis F. McGray.
When the town of Underwood was founded he settled there. Later he moved to Bismarck. And in 1924 came to Garrison, North Dakota, where he established the McGray Motor Company. Senator McGray was at one time, heavily interested in banking and real estate business. Senator McGray was affectionately known by young and old as "Bill". He was deeply interested in civic affairs and he was a really truly public spirited individual. He was generous almost to a fault; always a sunny disposition. "Bill" got the most out of life and this, he richly deserved.
He represented McLean County, the 46th Legislative Districts, in 1915 and 1917. He leaves a wife, Winnifred Hart McGray and a son Archie Hart McGray, an attorney in Uncle Sam's armed service.
