The death over the week-end in Sydney of Daniel Murray Ray removes a former familiar figure from the towns of Junee and Wagga. For long years the deceased was a guard in the railway service at Junee prior to going to reside in Sydney. Owing to a serious illness he retired from the railway service some years ago. In Junee he married Miss Vera Muldoon. Mr. Ray was the son of a well known Picton family, who many years ago came to the Wagga district where his father had a farm at Brucedale. After leaving the farm he went with his large family of nine sons and one daughter to reside in Junee, where three of his sons Joined the railway service. Mr. Ray, sen., some years ago was out hunting with his sons near Junee, and collapsed and died, the deceased leaves a widow and grown up family, besides seven brothers— Syd. and Fred (Junee), Walter and Arthur, formerly in business in Marrar, Archie and Alf in the railway service, and William Edward. Another brother, who was in business at one time at Junee, died some years ago. The deceased, with two other brothers, served in the Boer War.
