"The Rochester Democrat of Monday says: Mrs. Fanny Ray, wife of Abel Ray, died at the family residence in Livonia, on the 22nd inst, in the 66th year of her age. Mrs. Ray was one of five children, of whom two, Mr. Jonathan Morris, of Warsaw, her brother, and Mrs. Alfred Williams, of Henrietta, her sister, survive her. She leaves three children, two sons and one daughter. Mr. Dwight Knapp, depot master of the Central railroad, in this city, is the eldest son. The deceased was the first white child born in Wyoming county. She was an estimable Christian lady, and her memory will be held in reverence by all who knew her." The body of Mrs. Ray was brought here for burial on Monday. She was a daughter of Lyman Morris, and was born in this place July 24, 1805. She was not the first white child born in this County, however - Eliza, daughter of Judge Webster and wife of Hon. A. W. Young having been born June 9, 1804."
