THURSDAY APRIL 30, 1953 WRAY GAZETTE Funeral services were held at the Christian Church in Wray Sunday, afternoon for Mrs. Lillian May Donovan, a pioneer Wray mother and a widely known resident of this community for more than 60 years. Rev. Robert Seals officiated at the rites which were followed by burial in Grandview Cemetery. Lillian May Mason, daughter of Lewis Henry and Susanna H. Mason, was born on March 18, 1875, at Nelson, Illinois, and departed this life at her home in Wray on April 23, 1953 at the age of 78 years, 1 month and 15 days. At the age of five she moved with her family to a farm near York, Nebraska, where they made their home until the spring of 1891, when they came to Wray. On February 12, 1895, she was married to Sherman W. Jones at Wray. To this union eight children were born, all of whom are living. Mr. Jones passed away on April 23, 1923. Her parents, two brothers, Dick Mason and Lewis Mason, and two sisters, Mrs. Grace Coston and Mrs. Minnie Willis, also preceded her in death. On September 20, 1928, Mrs. Jones was married to John Donovan at Wray. Mr. Donovan died on January 13, 1943. As a child she attended school in York County, Nebraska and finished her education in Wray. Early in life she attended the Lutheran Church with her parents and had been a faithful member of the Christian Church here for 30 years. She had been a member of the Rebekah Lodge for many years, being the first Noble Grand to preside in the present Odd Fellow Hall. Except for a short time in Lincoln, Illinois and two years in Colorado Springs, she lived on a farm near Wray during most of her married life, moving into town in 19120. For the past three years she had been in failing health and had been seriously ill since the first of January. She was a loving mother and her kind influence will be missed by all who knew her. Surviving are four sons, four daughters, one sister, three brothers, 22 grandchildren, and 18 great grandchildren. ~ Obit supplied with kindness by Shara Berghuis Living Names Omitted Per Find A Grave.
