Fred Wray

Funeral services were held in the Buchner Chapel Monday afternoon for Fred 
Wray, 84, who died last Tuesday at St. Cloud, Florida. The Rev. A. L. Eddy 
officiated. Burial was in Mt. Hope Cemetery.

Mr. Wray was born April 17, 1860, at Bridgeport, near Maquoketa. With the 
exception of a short time at Valparaiso Business College and trips to Florida 
in recent years, he spent his entire life in the community. As a young man he 
entered the monument business with his father and maintained that business 
with his brothers until his retirement. Two weeks ago he left for St. Cloud, 
Florida, with his brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Meyer. The 
three arrived there Friday and Mrs. Meyer wrote Monday to their niece that all 
stood the trip well, although Mr. Wray had a bad cold.

Three brothers preceded him in death, Frank, Emerson, and Freeman, his twin 
brother. He is survived by his sister and three nieces and three nephews. Two 
nieces and one nephew came to attend the funeral, Mrs. Mildred Funk, Hammond, 
Indiana, Mrs. Beulah Papakostas, Chicago, and Cecil Wray, Davenport.
