Name for the Townspeople

Writers' Corner

I’m writing an old west story and need names for for several townspeople.
First of all, the town gossip. She is a widowed lady and her husband’s ancestor founded the town of Grey’s [name_u]Canyon[/name_u]. I was thinking maybe Mrs. [name_u]Grey[/name_u], but I’m not tally sold on it.
Next, the former sheriff. He retired and his replacement comes later in the story.
Also, the town banker. Usually bankers aren’t showed in a good light in this genre and I’m hoping to buck some sterotypes, so maybe this banker can be a friendly man and a father figure to the main girl.
And last but not least, the town doctor who is also filling in as the preacher and sheriff.

Thanks!
