Ionia Sentinel, Fri., March 19, 1875 and Fri, April 2, 1875
PRAY - In the township of Ronald, March 14, Deidamia pray, wife of George Pay, 
aged 46 years. Inflammation of the lungs.

We clip the following from the Peninsular Courier of Ann Arbor, Mich. the 
former home of Mrs. Pray:

Mrs. Pray was a graduate of the "Misses Clark's School," of this city in the 
class of 1846, and well remembered by the teachers and companions whit whom she 
was associated, as a lady of talent and appreciation, sprightly, amiable and 
agreeable. Her after life was one marked by acts of kindness and self-sacrifice 
for the good of others. While from real love of books she kept up her own 
mental culture by reading and study, in the circle of her acquaintance she was 
the promoter of literary clubs and other scholarly pursuits, for the benefit 
and amusement of all.  Here where she lived for some years, she will not soon 
be forgotten by those whom she aided among the poor and unfortunate, and her 
may old friends in Washtenaw county will hear of the announcement of her 
decease with feelings with deep regret that her days have been cut short in the 
midst of the usefulness.

It was not our pleasure to be very intimately acquainted with Mrs. Pray, but 
from the limited acquaintance we had with her in the community in which she 
lived,; her life has been one of continued activity, and her influence for good 
will live long after the incentor has been forgotten by many of those who have 
been lifted up into a higher life by the force of her influence. Her loss is 
not merely to the family circle but to the entire community.
