Lawrence T. Gray (1864-?) was born in Leavenworth, Kansas, and died in an unknown location. He worked as a mining engineer and married Susan "Susie" H. Gray (b. Bean) in Stamford, Connecticut, in 1893. The Grays lived in Chicago, Illinois, for a short time before eventually moving to Colorado Springs, Colorado. Gray ran for Colorado's lieutenant governor as a Populist around 1900, and Susie was a co-founder of the Colorado Springs Woman's Club, Civic League, and the Colorado branch of the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage / National Woman's Party. Gray passed away sometime after 1956. Isabella A. Beecher wrote to Mary Baker Eddy in 1886, stating that Gray's mother, Mary Tenney Gray, would like to meet with Eddy for a Christian Science practitioner recommendation, and that Lawrence would like to study with Eddy. Eddy's secretary, Calvin A. Frye, later noted on Beecher's letter that Eddy gave them an interview and invited Gray to class, however there is no record of him studying with Eddy.
