General note
William Grayson came to Saskatchewan in 1883 after graduating from Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto, Ontario. One of the pioneers of the City of Moose Jaw, he established a general practice of law to serve the residents of Moose Jaw and surrounding communities. After working as a sole practitioner, he formed a partnership with Charles Ernest Armstrong, Thomas Emerson and Lester McTaggart.
The Grayson family established roots in the City of Moose Jaw and was connected with the City's growth and development over the years. William Grayson acted as mayor for the City in 1903. William Grayson passed away suddenly in 1926, but left behind his reputation for integrity, entreprenuership, and care for the local community. His law practice was assumed by his partners, and his family continued with his legacy when his son, Charles Douglas Grayson, became associated with his father's firm.
