It is sad even to have to chronicle one death in a family, and when a second death is added within a week, it makes the telling that much harder. The Bray family in Could county have been bereaved twice this week, the first death being that of John G. Bray, the father and founder of the family in this county, and the second that of his eldest son, Henry, who passed away last night at 10:45 o'clock at the home of Thos. Pae, on East Ninth street, after a short illness of acute cerebritis. The funeral services will be held at the West Branch church in the country, on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, with services by Elder A.R. Moore, who this week preached the funeral services for the father in the same church. Henry A. Bray was born in Bourbonais Grove, Kankakee county, Ill., on March 24, 1870, making him forty four years and eight months of age at the time of his death. He came here when he was a child, with his parents, and has made Cloud county his home till the day of his death. Mr. Bray was married twice and his first wife died leaving him with a daughter, who is Mrs. Blanch Vignery. He was married again and to this union come four children who with the mother survive the father. The children are Henry G. aged 12 years, Mary Alzina, aged 10, Richard Donald, aged 3, and Vern Alee, aged 1. In 1896 Mr. Bray enlisted in the regular army, being a member of the First Calvary, Troop F. in which he became a first class gunner, a position of merit in the army. He served during the Spanish American War, and was stationed at Florida during the most of the war. It is said that the worry over his father's illness, the loss of sleep and the constant thought of the war in Europe unbalanced his mind, and shortly before his father's death he went violently insane. It was found necessary to put him in confinement, where his condition became gradually worse, until he was taken with the illness which proved fatal. Mr. Bray has always been a trusted and respected citizen of Cloud county, and his unhappy death has been a terrible blow to his family, who are already stunned with the sorrow of the last few weeks.
