Married to Martha Ella Brown, Dec 17, 1896, Gleason, Weakley Co., TN
The Commercial Courier (Union City, Tennessee) 20 Dec 1918, Fri - Page 5:"Memory of J. T, Wray. J. T. Wray was born Oct. 25, 1874, died Dec. 4, 1918. For a long time Mr. Wray's health had been bad and all that human hands could do was done, but all efforts were futile for it seemed that his earthly work was finished. Mr. Wray was head miller in the Howell Grain and Feed Co. mills, having been in this business for a number of years. He was kind to all who worked under him. Both white and colored employees loved and honored him for his good heart and honest dealings with them. He has frequently given his lunch to a hungry workman and done without himself. He loved to attend church and Sabbath school when his health would permit his going. Although suffering severely he seldom complained or gave any outward show of pain, preferring to endure in silence rather than trouble those around him by telling of his human hurts. He was conscious almost to the hour of his death and spoke of dying in a manner that showed while he hated to leave loved ones here he was glad to answer the call to "Come unto Me all that are weak and heavy laden and I will give you rest," for he was not afraid to meet his Maker and was anxious to enter in the Great Beyond. Mr. Wray was a kind husband and affectionate father. He leaves a wife, two daughters, two sisters and three brothers and a host of friends to mourn his death. He was a MacCabee, having joined this order some years previous to date. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. H. A. Todd in the home of Mrs. Pettus, where he and Mrs. Wray had rooms. His remains were buried in East View Cemetery. God giveth unto us the gift of life, And careth for us thru earthly strife. When in this world' we no longer roam, He calleth us to him and giveth us a home. At the death of loved ones Christ says, "Why weep? They are not dead for they only sleep." A FRIEND
