NEWSPAPER Issue of Wednesday, February 21, 1923

MRS. JOHN W. RAY RESTS AT HOME;  Remains of Beloved Lady Interred Here 
Saturday; Died in Columbus on Thursday

The remains of Mrs. S.F. Ray were brought to Roanoke over the Central of 
Georgia Railway at noon on Saturday accompanied by the children and other 
relatives of the deceased and were carried directly to the family lot in the 
city cemetery where the body was laid to rest, in sight of the former home of 
Mrs. Ray and family, where more than twenty years of her busy life were spent.

During late years Mrs. Ray resided with her daughter Mrs. C.S. Hanners in 
Columbus, Georgia where her death occurred last Thursday morning.  The 
deceased was 73 years of age, for many years a member of the Methodist church 
and was esteemed by a large circle of friends for her devotion to duty through 
the trying experiences of her long life.  Dr. Turner, local Methodist pastor, 
conducted the services at the grave in the presence of quite a number of 
friends of the family.

Mrs. Ray was the widow of the late Mr. John W. Ray, the popular pioneer 
engineer of the East Alabama Railway who was a familiar figure on this line of 
railway for many years.
