First husband of Dovie Alice Creekmore Ray Brewster. They married 23 AUG 1874 at the Anderson House (Anderson-Creekmore-Ray property), Salado,Bell Co.,TX. He was a lawyer.
She married after his death to William Joseph Brewster,
23 DEC 1880.
Her sister Sarah Elizabeth Creekmore Wallace wrote in her little book, The Wier-Creekmore Genealogy (1942), page 37: "Salado, in Bell County, had one of the foremost colleges in the State. My oldest sister (Dovie) was there in school. We moved to this town in 1873 and bought an interesting old home. A Dr. Jones had improved the place. On a corner was a rock office where he kept his medicines and received his patients. My sister Alice married a lawyer, Frank M. Ray. He turned the doctor’s office into a court room.
After living here several years, our neighbor, Judge O.T. Tyler, made my father a good offer to settle on a section of unimproved land in Erath County. We moved in 1881."
F.M. Ray died during this period but she did not describe his death.
In 1873 the Creekmores purchased the historic old Anderson house at Salado, built by one of the founders of Salado in 1860 and long known locally as a boarding house, stagecoach stop and hotel. It is probable that their elder daughter Dovie Alice Wier boarded at the Anderson house prior to her father purchasing it. She married Francis Marion ("Frank") Ray in the house in 1874 and continued to live there with her husband and her parents until after his death in 1879 and after her parents moved in 1881.
According to the Texas Historical Association documentation: “Anderson Place, Old. Built 1860 at edge of an old Indian campground, by James B. Anderson, one of town’s founders and a school trustee in Salado. Community leaders, lawyers and doctors have lived here. Boarding here in 1883 while a student at Old Salado College was James E. Ferguson, 1915-1917 Governor of Texas—and husband of the first woman Governor [“Ma” Ferguson]. Under panelling and cedar walls. Window glass is hand blown. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1965 #159.”
F.M. and Dovie Alice Ray's son Homer Horace Ray (1876-1959), who was born in the house and lived there until c1883, served in the Texas House of Representatives in 1931-35.
Mrs. F.M. Ray apparently sold the property in 1883 to John Richardson who owned it at the time (future Gov.) Jim Ferguson boarded there. (ref., Salado Village Voice, July 26, 2018, p.B2-B3.)
