Indiana, and in the winter of 1854, shortly before Christams, Mr.and Mrs. Wray
moved from Madison Co., Ind. to Buchanan township; they have lived in the
village of Buchanan twenty years.
	There were four children born to this union, one daughter, Miss Emma, who lives
at home with her parents, Will W., who lives on the farm where his parents
formerly made their home, James F., who resides with his family in Edmund,
Kansas, and Anslem, who, with his wife, lives on Front St. nearly opposite the
paternal roof.
	Mr. Wray is a well known figure in the village; he is in good health and as
vigorous as many younger men.  In politics he is a republican.  For many years
the family have affiliated with the Christian church, Mr. Wray and his wife, and
Miss Emma being members there.
