Ray E. Emery, 49, former resident of Wolbach, died suddenly Friday afternoon in front of his barber shop at 406 North Cedar Street in Grand Island. Death was attributed to a heart attack.
Funeral servcies were held at 9:30 Monday morning in the St. Mary's Cathedral. Burial was in the Grand Island Cemetery.
He was born in Spalding, Nebraska, March 29, 1906, to Bert and Elsie Crosby Emery. He and Miss Esther McHugh were married August 7, 1925 at Scotia. They began their home on a farm near Scotia. Later, they moved to St. Libory, where Mr. Emery operated a barber shop for several years. In 1940 they came to Grand Island and with the exception of a short period during which they lived in Wolbach, this has been their home. During his residence in Grand Island, Mr. Emery had been employed by the Union Pacific Railroad and had operated his own barber shop.
Surviving are his wife: five children, Mrs. Julius Meyer, Fairfield, California; Eugene Emery, stationed in France with the Army Air Coprs; Leo Emery, Omaha, and Harold and Ronald Emery, both at home.
