Ray Huston Dies Enroute To Montague
Ray E. Huston, 68, of 4942 West Flynn Lane, Glendale, Ariz., died Saturday at a hospital in Belen, New Mexico where he had been hospitalized during the day. He was taken ill while enroute to Montague with Mrs. Huston and Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Woller to spend the summer vacation. He was born Sept. 24, 1895 in Claybanks Township. His parents were Mr. and Mrs. Orin Huston. He married Verna Myers Sept. 24, 1919. After their marriage they lived at the Huston homestead for a few years before moving to Detroit. A short time later they purchased the Huston estate from his father and operated a dairy farm. Mr. Huston retired about 12 years ago after selling the farm.
At that time they moved to the Stony Lake are where they lived until six years ago when they went to Arizona.
He served-with the U.S. armed forces during World War I and was a member of the VFW, the Montague Masonic Lodge and the Trinity Lutheran Church at Bradyville. He was a former member of the South Shore Farm Bureau, the Board of Education at the Flower Creek school, and served as a director of the White Lake Market Association.
