The death of Mr. Alexander Gray, who arrived in Victoria in 1852, occurred at his residence, Rosebank, Barwon-avenue, South Geelong, last week. Mr. Gray, although a keen business man, lived a quiet life, and never took part in public affairs. He was interested in a number of station properties in North New South Wales and Victoria, and was owner of the Albion Woollen Mills and Australian Tannery, on the Barwon River, both of which industries have been worked up to lucrative concerns under his management. He was also a large share holder in the Cheetham Salt Works, at East Geelong. Deceased, who leaves a widow and grown-up family of three sons and four daughters, was 87 years of age.
