Man Passes Away
H. E.
at
MacCray Leaves This Earth
9 O'clock Monday Morning.
With a heavy heart we would drop a
tear to the motnory of U. E. MacCray.
Ills death has brought the bitter cup of
sorrow to the lips of friends and rel
atives, His was a heart of gold.
It is sad at any time to stand besldo
the bed of the dying and watch life's
ebbing tide drifting the loved one
slowly, perhaps, but surely Into the
great ocean of eternity, but when there
comes whispering from parched lips:
'Though I walk through the valley of
the shadow of death, I will fear no
evil; for Thou art with mej Thy rod
and Thy staff they comfort tuo", It
brings a balm to the wounded heart.
Thus closed the life of this noble man,
who Is mourned by so many In this
city
II. E. MacCray was born In Kent
land, Indiana. February 10, 1870. He
came to this city seventeen years ago.

his wife, Mrs H. E. MacCray of Alli
ance; his mother, Mrs. Emllo MacCray
of Kearney; three sisters, Mrs. Isabelle

er, Clarence MacCray.
A' short funeral service was held
Tuesday afternoon, the Alliance bus
iness houses being closed one hour as a
mark of respect. The services were
held under the auspices of the Frater
nal Order of Eagles, and the remains
