FRANK J. GRAY

Frank J. Gray was born in San Francisco in 1862, his parents being pioneers of this State.  His father, an old and well-known business man, is still living here, as also is his mother.

    Young Gray attended the common schools and afterward the University of California, where he completed his literary course.  He then entered the law office of McClure & Dwinell, and remained with this old and responsible legal firm for eight years, taking his law course at the Hastings College of Law and being admitted to the bar in 1886.  He was called to the office of District Attorney, and creditably filled that position for two years.  In November, 1890, he was elected Justice of the Peace.  Mr. Gray is a member of the Native Sons of the Golden West and also of the Improved Order of Red Men; has passed all the chairs and is a member of the Grand Lodge.
