"Following a long illness, John Robert Ray, native and lifelong resident of this county near Travis Bridge, died at his home Monday morning, June 15. Mr. Ray had been confined to his bed for about four years. Funeral services are being held this {Thursday} morning at 10 o'clock from Welcome Church conducted by the Rev. Levi Presley. Interment will be in Welcome Cemetery with Cope Funeral Home in charge of arrangements. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Betty Ray one daughter--Mrs. Mary Trahan; one brother--Ernest and two sisters, Misses Millie and Ollie Ray, all of Owassa. Also three grandchildren." Later on, I found a brief obit for Ernest RAY "...a resident of Travis Bridge Community was laid to rest thursday at 2 pm in the Welcome Cem. Services were held at the Cope Chapel, Evergreen, Rev. Hill Presley off. Active pallbearers furnished by the Alma Martin Post of the American Legion. " This one was on or there about in November of same year 1959. Are these the Ray Brothers that owned a store in the Travis Bridge Community? If so, might can get you some more info later on. Hope this is helpful to you.
