"History of Carbon County" by Frederick Charles Brenckman, James J. Nungesser, publisher, Harrisburg, PA, 1913, Pages 395 and 396:
"Bray, Walter M., postmaster of Palmerton, a director of the First National Bank of that town, and a member of the firm of Lewis & Bray, operating a slate quarry near Millport, is a son of Andrew and Mary (Tucker) Bray, and was born near Dartmouth, England, November 30, 1859. He is one of a family of fifteen children, all of whom grew to maturity.
Leaving school at the age of ten years, he found employment in the slate quarries near his home; when he was fourteen he was already a full-fledged slater, and did the work of a man. He continued in this capacity until reaching his majority, when he sailed for America, settling at East Bangor, Northampton county, Pa. Following his trade there for a short period, he went to Canada for a time, but returned to East Bangor, and later lived at Newton, N. J.
Coming to Carbon county in 1895, Mr. Bray became the partner of William Lewis, the firm having a lease on the Old Millport Slate Quarry, near Millport. They are still associated in this enterprise, and employ about
twenty-five men in their operations. Mr. Bray has been a resident of Palmerton since the inception of the town, in 1900. He was one of the organizers of the First National Bank, and is still a member of its directorate. In 1909 he was appointed to the position of postmaster, while he is connected with the Palmerton Co-operative Association, which aims to foster and advance the best interests of the community bearing that name.
Mr. Bray was united in marriage to Mary E. Roberts, of East Bangor, October 16, 1886. They have be
come the parents of these children: Liona, Walter A., Charles, Jennie M., Edith B., Lester C., Margaret, Bessie, William R., Martha, Dorothy, John, Evelyn and Richard Bray.
Mr. Bray holds membership in various fraternal organizations, among the number being the Odd Fellows, Red Men, Knights of the Golden Eagle and the Masons. He and his family attend the Episcopal church. Mr. Bray is a staunch Republican."
