Portland Review – Tuesday, 3 September 1918
Mrs. N. L. Bray, wife of a former pastor of the Portland Methodist church, 
died at Big Rapids last week and the remains were taken to South Bend for 
burial.  Rev. Bray has been superintendent of the Big Rapids district and that 
city has been his home for several years.  His wife was 73 years old.  Mrs. 
Bray was born in England.  Her maiden name was Elizabeth Slade.  She became 
acquainted with Mr. Bray in the old country and two years after he had located 
in America she came here to become his bride.  At the time of their marriage 
he was pastor at Mt. Pleasant.  Other charges which he later held were Evart, 
Woodland, Orleans, Lowell, Portland, Quincy, Sturgis, Muskegon and Jackson.  
Besides her husband she is survived by a daughter, Mrs. E. P. Bennett, whose 
husband is pastor of the M. E. church at Pontiac.  A granddaughter and 
namesake is buried at South Bend, hence the selection of that city as a burial 
place.  Miss Mable Stevens, of Portland, assisted in the care of Mrs. Bray 
during her last illness.
