Obituary
Dr. Walter Bray Dies At Hospital Dr. Walter S. Bray, one of Camden's best-known physicians, died at Cooper Hospital this morning. His wife, Mrs. Ada Bray, was at his bedside when the end came. The physician was taken to the hospital from his home, 210 State street, ten days ago. He had been ill for the last three months. Dr. Bray was active in fraternal organizations, and at one time took a prominent part in politics. He practised medicine in Camden for the last thirty-five years. The physician was born in Dexter, Maine, sixty years ago. He studied at the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, and upon graduation, practised for one year in Atlantic City. He came to Camden in 1888, and was a doctor in this city continuously, until shortly before his death. Dr. Bray was one of the organizers of the Camden Lodge of Moose, in which organization he always retained an active interest. He was also a member of Wyoming Tribe, Improved Order of Red Men. Dr. Bray for twenty years was a member of the Camden Democratic club. He once ran for mayor on the Democratic ticket, and also served as chairman of the Camden County Democratic Executive Committee for a period of seven years. The physician was married November 11, 1912. Beside his wife, he is survived by a nine-year-old daughter, Ada. Funeral services will be held at the Bray residence Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock. Rev. James Morrison, pastor of the North Baptist church, will officiate. Three years ago, Dr. Bray was involved in an automobile accident, in which he was seriously injured. His health since then had been generally poor, and he attributed his condition to that accident. -Camden (N. J.) Courier.
