Greetings from Streator, According to the Genealogy Guild's Riverview Book, Peter Gray is buried in Block 13, Row 1, with Elizabeth. Elizabeth 1844 - abt 19 April 1919 Peter 1839 - abt 19 Jan. 1934 I am kind of backed up right now, so it would probably be faster to contact the Streator Public Library on South Park Street. They charge $1.00 for microfilm copies, plus postage and handling. The 1902-1903 Streator City Directory lists, "Gray Peter F, wf Elizabeth, driver Seipp Brew Co, r 212 e Broadway." Jessie C. Voorhees is buried in Block 16, Row 26 with her husband and son? John Gray. The date of death is about 28th of April 1977. Among the Voorhees buried in Row 28 is Anna M. Feb. 9, 1835 - July 14, 1915 and Jacob Skillman Voorhees Sept. 30, 1831 - Sept. 13, 1907. Row 27 has a large Voorhees stone.
