Written on the verso in pencil: Maria Gray (standing) and Alice Gray - sisters of “Georgie” and daughters of uncle Geo.
Maria Louise Gray, born 18 August 1852, and Alice Bridge Gray, born 2 July 1855, both in Massachusetts, were the daughters of George Harrison Gray (1798-1868) and Anna H. Wakefield (born circa 1816). The couple had at least six children, one of whom was Georgiana “Georgie” Gray. George Gray was a prosperous manufacturer/merchant in Cambridge; in 1860, the family had real estate valued at $20,000 and a personal estate of $2,000. Both sisters lived with their parents until 1868, when they went to live with sister Georgie’s family in Arlington; Georgie’s husband was a crockware manufacturer, and in 1870, the couple had a personal estate of $20,000. Alice lived with Georgie’s family through the 1900 census. In 1897, she obtained a U.S. passport for travel to Europe. She was described as a little over five fee tall, blue eyes, light brown hair, and a light complexion. In 1910, Alice was living by herself in Andover, Massachusetts. She relocated to Los Angeles, California and was listed as a roomer in the 1920 census. Alice Gray, who never married, passed away in Los Angeles on 29 April 1928.
Maria Louise Gray traveled to Europe for health reasons in 1887 and remained there until circa 1923. She started living in Rome in 1911. Maria also never married. In 1920, she was required by the U.S. Government to apply for a new passport in Rome in order to avoid the presumption of her expatriation. She was described as 5' 5“ tall, grey/blue eyes, and brown hair. In her application, she wrote: “I am living in Italy because of my health. I have an apartment in Rome which I share with a friend who is an invalid and who needs my help. I am not in sufficiently good health to undertake the journey to the United States until traveling has become much easier and my obligations here come to an end.” When Maria returned to the United States, she eventually settled in North Carolina, where she passed away on 27 April 1934.
"I could not comprehend God's plan but my understanding was not essential. My obedience was." - Alice Gray
