...Her mother who was an invalid did not go to quebec. She died in 1866, two years after the conference. Colonel Gray married the second time and had a son and daughter. The latter, Rosamond, died at the age of three. the former, colonel Arthur Hamilton, died in London, England. He had been severely shocked during the Halifax explosion and went to London with his wife to consult a specialist.
