No one was more willing to aide the suffering, cheer the desponding and to throw the mantel Christian charity over all, and when sickness and death came to her, neighbors and friends vied with each other in acts of loving kindness and tender solicitude and many were thewilling hands that aided her in her last illness.

The shadows of a great sorrow fell across the hearts and home of Mr. John A. Ray, when on the morning of Dec. 4, (1927) at seven o'clock, the Death Angel visited the home and took from it a loving wife and mother, Patsy Ray, aged 65. She had been in failing health for many years, gradually weakening until she had become so frail that during the past year she was confined to her bed entirely. She was always cheerful and bore her suffering so patiently. She is survived by her husband, who so bravely and tenderly cared for her during the last few months of her illness. Four daughters, Mesdames Elijah McMillian, Buford Smith, John Bratton, all of this county, Mrs. Robert L. Yeakey, Cincinnati, and two sons, William Royston and Abner Ray also survive, besides three sisters, Mesdames Bunch Ray, Nannie Ray, Linda Calico and brother Harrison Ray. After a short talk at the grave by Cronley Broadus, an esteemed friend of the family, her remains were laid to rest in the family burying ground near the home on the Poor Ridge pike.
