He was born in Frankville, Iowa, in 1859, a son of Robert and Mary Ray, the former a native of Ireland and the latter of New York. They removed to Iowa at an early day and there the father engaged in farming. Nine children were born to their union, two of whom are living. Adam R. was the third in order of birth. Adam R. Ray received his education in the district schools of Iowa and later went to Lake Crystal, Minnesota, where he engaged in teaching in a normal school. Doctor Ray decided upon the medical profession as a life work and entered a medical school at Keokuk, Iowa, from which he was graduated in 1888. Soon after graduating he engaged in practice at Marquette, Nebraska, and remained there for one year, when he came to Fairfield, in 1889. He built up a fine practice and became recognized as one of the county's most able and eminent physicians and surgeons. In 1914 he sold his practice to Dr. Bell and went to Brown county, where he purchased a fine ranch. He bought a drug store and was also active in the practice of his profession until his death April 3, 1917.
