Ray died at his rural Houghton home on Monday, Jan. 22, 2007, at the age of 98. Ray Rexford Pulfrey was born Dec. 15, 1908, on the family farm in Brown County, South Dakota. He grew up there, and attended a one room schoolhouse. After receiving his education, Ray went to work on the family farm. On June 16, 1933, he married Viola Mae Bacon at Sisseton, S.D. They farmed and ranched in the Claremont/Houghton area, most of it within a few miles radius of their final farm northwest of Claremont on state Highway 37. Ray raised Black Angus, Red Angus and White Face cattle in his ranching operation. In the early 1980s, Ray began to ease out of the day-to-day running of the farm and ranch. He did continue to help in any area that he could, and always remained interested in the operation of the farm. Viola died April 30, 1993, and Ray continued to make his home on the farm until his own death. Although Ray accomplished many things in his lifetime, he felt his family made him the richest man in the world. Ray was a 60-year member of the Masonic Lodge and Order of the Eastern Star of Claremont. He also belonged to the York Rite, Scottish Rite, and the Yelduz Shrine in Aberdeen. He had worked at the Shrine Circus in Aberdeen for many years, and put in his final year of volunteering at the age of 94. Ray enjoyed gardening, canning and woodworking. Gardening was his favorite pastime. He had a special fondness for babies and young children, and enjoyed visiting with them. Ray also had a special love for his horses and cats. Ray is survived by his children, Rex (Cheryl) Pulfrey of Bonney Lake, Wash., Jenenne (Glen) Thorpe of Spring Lake Park, Minn., Myron (Janet) Pulfrey of Houghton, S.D., Keith Pulfrey of Aberdeen, S.D., Sharon Lehr of Houghton; 21 grandchildren; 35 great-grandchildren; one brother, Ronald Pulfrey of Honolulu, Hawaii; and a sister, Mary Cardiff of Ft. Bragg, Calif. He was preceded in death by his parents, Roy and Lulu Pulfrey; his wife, Viola; a daughter, Marianna Thorpe; two sons, Gary Pulfrey and Terry Pulfrey; one grandson, Greg Pulfrey; a brother, Ralph Pulfrey; and a sister, Eileen Hawthorne.
