HALF CENTURY OF BUSINESS
Some Old Hudson Firms Which Are Still Energetic.R. Gray's Sons.
This house, stared originally nearly across the street from its present site in 1841 as Ingersoll & Gray, afterwards became celebrated through the business acumen of Rensselaer Gray, the father of the present firm. Gradually the house extended its different branches until to-day under the management of W. I. and Arthur S. Gray, it ranks as one of the leading department stores in this section of the state. The building itself is one of the show places of Hudson. When the row of buildings, including Gray's store was burned down, the firm made preparations to eclipse anything of the kind in its line in this vicinity and well has it done this work. Five stories high and 60x120 feet, it is filled with a magnificent stock of goods, so that it is not only a landmark of Hudson business fifty years ago, but a fine sample of modern progress.

Miss Helen Ingersoll Gray, daughter of Mrs. Van Rensselaer Gray, died at 6:30 o'clock this morning, at her home, 342 Allen street. For the past month the deceased suffered a general decline and about a week ago was forced to keep to her bed. All that medical attention and loving care could accomplish was resorted to, but her physical being would not respond and she passed away this morning mourned by fond relatives and a host of friends.
Miss Gray was born in this city and has resided here all her life. She was a young woman of sterling character, whose bright smile and thoughtful deeds made friends everywhere. She was a member of the Presbyterian church of this city, where she was a faithful attendant, and much interested in the church work. Always ready to say good words for everyone, she was truly a noble Christian and her loss will be keenly felt by all who knew her.
Standing out in the life of Miss Gray was the life service which she rendered in the home. It seemed to those who knew her well, that there was sacred dedication made by her in this respect. To an invalid mother and brother she had ministered for thinking never of self, but only what she could to help and comfort those about her. Her life was one of devotion to the home and of self-sacrificing interest to those nearest and dearest to her. Love and service was exemplified in the highest sense byher and ever with a patience and courage that seemed to make light of the care which she rendered so faithfully.
She is survived by her mother, Mrs. Van Rensselaer Gray, two sisters, Mrs. James Moore and Mrs. H. D. Van Vlec, and two brothers, Arthur and William I. Gray, all of this city.
The funeral will bo held from her late home on Monday afternoon.
