MRS. JENNIE BRAY FATALLY STRICKEN
Well Known Matron is Found Unconscious and Passes Few Hours Later
Mrs. Jennie Bray passed away at her home on Third street Saturday afternoon at 5 o'clock, following an illness of less than a days duration. She was stricken during the night Friday, and never regained consciousness before she died. Mrs. Verna and Rose Bray, daughters of Walter
H. Bray, and granddaughters of the deceased, who resided with Mrs. Bray, were not aware of her affliction until the following morning when they went to her room to call her to breakfast.
While she had been ailing for several weeks, her condition was not considered alarming. Friday afternoon, a few hours before she was stricken, her son, George K. Bray, visited her. She was up and seemed to be in the best of spirits at that time.
The funeral was held at the Methodist church Monday afternoon, Rev. John K. Hubbard officiating, and interment was made at Evergreen cemetery. The funeral was attended by all of her sons and daughters, and by many friends and neighbors here and at her former home in Butte Valley.
Miss Jennie Amelia Beck was born at Peoria, Illinois, April 14, 1854, and with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Beck, came to California when she was 17 years of age, locating near the town of Burgettville in Shasta county. The following year she was married to William J. Bray,
and with her husband and family moved to Yreka in 1875. The Bray's resided here until 1876, and then located on Butte creek, near the present site of the town of Bray, which was named for Mr. Bray.
At that time there was no post office east of the mountain, and Montague was the nearest trading point. The Bray's took a prominent part in the early development of that section of the county, and saw it grow from an almost impenetrable wilderness to a thriving agriculture and lumbering commonwealth.
In 1914 they removed from Bray to the Cole ranch at the Oregon-California state line near Hilt, and three years later they returned to Yreka. Mr. Bray died in Yreka March 30, 1922.
Mrs. Bray is survived by three sons and six daughters. They are Walter H. Bray of Hornbrook, George K. Bray of Greenhorn, William A. Bray of Bray, Mrs. Grace Deter of Deter,Oregon,Mrs. Rose Haight of Little Shasta, Mrs. Ivy High of Happy Camp, Mrs. Mabel Sanders and Mrs. Ruth
Baumgartner of Hilt, and Mrs. Pearl Young of Stockton.
Mrs. Bray took an active part in the social life of the communities in which she resided, was held in high esteem and respect and her death is universally mourned where she was known.
