George Amos Ostie RAY / Laura BRAY

INDEX

[50] George O. Ray. A lawyer of more than average ability, George
DO. Ray (christened George Amos Ostie), of Springfield,
Missouri, was born at Nockview, NC. He is the second son of
Joseph Lafayette and Loretta Cole Ray, both natives of that
state, he came west with his father in 1901, while yet in his
early teens, his mother having died some years prior to that
time. His father was a member of the Fifth Ohio Cavalry, of the
Union Army. A brother served as Captain in the Confederate
forces of North Carolina during the same time.... In Carter
County, Missouri in 1915 Mr. Ray married Miss Laura E. Bray, a
lineal descendant of James A. Garfield. The Ray home is located
at the northwest corner of North Broadway and Florida Streets,
where the family has resided for eight years. The venerable
Father, age eighty eight years, resides at 1939 North robberson
Avenue where he recounts his life's varied experiences in three
professions-- Soldier, Educator -preacher and lawyer. His own
education an excellent one, it is largely to high example and
noble purposes of his life that the Mr. Ray of this review
gives much of the credit for his own careful training and for
the measure of success he has thus far obtained in life.
