MABEL ELIZABETH (SUMMY) BRAY
DIED.
Mrs. Mabel Elizabeth Bray, (nee Summy) born near the city of Lancaster, Penn.
April 20, 1858, and was married in Vinton, Iowa Aug. 17, 1878, to Rev. Henry T.
Bray.
At Easter 1884 she began to waste away and continued to do so steadily until her
death on the 2nd. inst at 6:30 p.m.
In Sept. she visited her parents in Iowa returning in Oct. and was confined to her
room from that time until released by a happy death. And although having a kind
and beloved husband and three children of tender age to whom she was much attached
she said she was ready and willing to go, that there was no darkness in the valley
and no pain--that Jesus would care for them and wipe away all tears--saying to Mr.
Bray that he must omit no services on account of her death but be willing to give
up all for the sake of Jesus. Her last words were "Blessed Savior, I know that he
will take care of me."
Well might this triumphant death have been expected by those who had seen and known
her worth as a pure hearted and true woman, a loving mother, a devoted Christian,
a rector's wife whose death leaves a void in the family and parish that it will be
hard to fill.
To the bereaved rector with three children of tender age, the loss is irreparable
notwithstanding the warm sympathy shown by all, and for which they are heartily
thankful.
The funeral service conducted by Bishop Brown on Sunday at 2 p.m. was full attended.
