William Gray, an associate of Marcus Whitman's, had moved on to the Willamette Valley in 1842. After the Whitman's deaths and until his own death in 1889, he tried to raise money for a proper grave and a memorial to the American Board missionaries. Gray was buried in Astoria, Oregon, but was re-interred in 1916 at Waiilatpu, the place he had assisted Whitman in missioning to the Cayuse people.
