Biography
George Bray was a charter member of the Juneau Men's Igloo No. 6 of the Pioneers of Alaska.
Bray was born in June 1862 in New York. He first came to the Territory of Alaska in 1898 during the period of rapid migration that followed the Klondike gold rush.
According to the 1910 United States Federal Census, Bray was listed as a prisoner in the Fairbanks Federal Jail. At that time, his occupation was recorded as a waiter.
Bray died at St. Ann’s Hospital in Juneau on November 4, 1933. His death resulted from injuries he received approximately a week earlier when he fell down a stairway near the Arctic Rooms in Juneau.
