Company History & Timeline

Company History / Timeline:

Ascending/Descending:  

~1875 through ~1920s

W. C. Gray and William R. Storey

As far as we can tell, this is where the story of our surveying firm began.  We have some suspicions it could have been earlier but so far we have been unable to authenticate anything prior to this.

Circa 1927*

Gray & Smith

W. C. Gray and Meloy Smith collaborated to form Gray and Smith some time during the 1920s.  Research shows a business filing around 1927. *Gray and Smith DBA filed 1/1/1927 according to Monroe County records, Monroe County Clerk’s Office.

Circa 1930s

Meloy Smith

It appears that Meloy Smith was flying solo during most of the 1930s.  Oddly enough, flying solo was quite the rage in that decade.  He remained aware, however, that having a competent partner is a significant advantage.

Circa 1940

Smith & Fitzpatrick

Meloy Smith and Feehan Fitzpatrick partnered toward the end of the 1930s.  It was an effort that lasted for quite a while but we have found no specific end date.

Circa 1960

Smith & Denluck

This rendition of our company was composed of Meloy Smith and George Denluck.  Yes, Mr Smith was around for a long while; his career apparently spanned five decades.

Circa 1970

Denluck, Thomas, McGrail & Associates

Here we are moving into a bit more recent territory.  Some of us actually know what disco music was like when it first came out.  George Denluck, Donald Thomas, and Warren McGrail all joined forces to form this association.
