Again death has invaded our community and claimed for its victim our well beloved friend and neighbor, Mrs. Ida B. Wray, who, after a very short illness, departed this life Tuesday, Oct. 17, 1893. Deceased was taken very suddenly ill about 9 o’clock Monday evening, remaining so until 3 o’clock the following day, when she passed from earth to a better land.
Mrs. Wray was a daughter of Berry Hicks and was born in Scott Township, Montgomery County, Ind., in 1866. In 1889 she was united in marriage to Raleigh Wray. One by one the years have fled in rapid succession, years full of love and happiness. But the Death Angel has called and the beloved one is summoned and the home left lonely and sad. She leaves a husband and one son to survive her, and mourn her loss.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Guyer at the residence, after which the remains were conveyed to the Crawfordsville cemetery and laid to rest in its final abiding place, witnessed by a large concourse of relatives and friends.
We need not eulogize her life and character as she was known by many, as it was hers to be kind, gentle and never failing to give aid, comfort and sympathy when in her power. She is gone, yet these noble deeds and precious memories remain never to be forgotten or blotted out.
We tender the bereaved husband, relatives and motherless child our heartfelt sympathies. With them mingle our tears of sorrow in this sad event, which has deprived them of a loving wife and mother, and as a beloved friend and neighbor.
