Francis Bray was born in Lexington, Mo., on June 10, 1840. His father, John G. Bray, before starting for California was given the contract and constructed the water works for the Mormons at Salt Lake. His father crossed the plains and arrived in California in 1850, and the deceased followed with his mother, in 1851 by way of New York and Panama. After a short residence in San Francisco the family removed to Santa Clara, where they have since resided.
