| Headline | Mrs. Thos. J. Ray Dead |
| Text | Another happy home has been invaded by death and an excellent wife, mother and neighbor has been called to a better land, where death never enters and happiness is eternal, as a reward for living the life of the righteous. The separation from loved ones breaks earthly ties, which brings sorrow and sadness to her loved ones who are left on earth for a time, but will soon be called hence and can dwell in the land of pure for all eternity. Mrs. Thos. J. Ray died Sunday at her home near Butterfield, surrounded by loving relatives and friends who silently watched her spirit take its heavenly flight to eternal bliss. Mrs. Ray was the wife of Thomas Jefferson Ray, an excellent citizen of this county and the mother of Walter, Ben, Floyd, Ola, Goebel, Fred and Miss Iva Ray and Mrs. Kinser of Granby, all respected and highly esteemed citizen of that section. She had been a consistent member of the Christian Church for many years and lived a life that will be rewarded with a home in the mansions above. |
