I am trying to find CHARLES FREDERICK BRAY b. September 8, 1875. in Ishpeming, Michigan. He is found again in an obituary of his eldest brother Albert December 28, 1928. After that all the family member say he just disapeared and was never heard of again. I do not have any clues, so I am hoping someone will be able to scale this brick wall for me. Charles was the son of John Bray 1831 - 1909 and Hannah/Anna Maria Gaved Horrell. 1834-1906 John and Hannah were born in Redruth, Cornwall, England area. Charles siblings were: Elizabeth Bray 1859-1891 married to Thomas Francis, 1852-1931Ispeming, Michigan, both born in Cornwall, England.

John and Sarah lived in Illinois, raising all of their childen in Oak Park, Illinois. This is my line, as they are my grandparents. William b. 1869-1958 married to (1) Carrie Cooper b. ? - 1948, she ran away with Jack Gordan, no info, to become an actress. (2) Mary Elizabeth Scraderb. 1880-1936 Ella Maude b. 1872-1935 married to William Alexander b. 1870 to abt. 1920 Clark. They both were born in the UP, Michigan. Louise died in infancy b. 1878 - d. 1878 Baby Bray, died in infancy. b. 1882 d. 1882 Any help with this one would be so appreciated and gratefully acknowledged.
