Bray, for many years one of the respected citizens of Cloud County, died at his home, west of Concordia at 2:15 a.m., following an illness of several weeks, ending a long and useful career as a Kansas farmer. Mr. Bray was born in Kankakee County, Illinois, in 1836, and was married in the same county in 1862 to Miss Sarah LeBar. To them was born nine children, seven of whom survive the father and with the mother, are left to mourn the death of Mr. Bray. During the Civil war, Mr. Bray enlisted in the 22nd Illinois infantry, Co. F. and during the war saw three years of active service. Like many of the farmers in Illinois during the years following the war, he heard the call of the west, and came to Kansas in 1877, buying a homestead right from a man who lives six and one half miles west of Concordia, where he and his wife have since resided. Mr. Bray was a loyal Kansan, a trifty and hard working farmer, and a man who was respected for his right living and his honesty of principal. Mr. Bray has raised a family of boys and girls in Cloud county, and today they are among the best citizens in this county and several others. Surviving children are Mrs. Coleman of Miltonville, Mrs. Milton Clark of Stockton, Mrs. Herman Wilcox of Houston Heights, Texas, Henry A. Bray, John W. Bray, Charles F. Bray and Bert Bray, all of Cloud county. A terrible thing in connection with the illness and death of Mr. Bray was the sudden illness of Henry Bray, the oldest son, who lost his mind from loss of sleep and worry over his father's condition. Mrs. Bray and her family have a double sorrow to bear at this time and the sympathy of the entire community is with them. The funeral will be held on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, with the services at the West Branch Church, conducted by Elder A.R. Moore, of Concordia. (transcribed by Judy Mayfield)
