Obituary Record

Ray A, Fagg
Died on 1/18/1891
Buried in Colby (Morley) Cemetery

Age 1y, 21d. His father, William Benton Fagg, married Mary Lanora Fenton in September 1871. They had two children, Ella and William Minor (Junior). William and Mary apparently divorced, and while living for a time in Iowa, William married Harriet Webb in Dec 1887. They had their first child, Bernice, in August 1888.

William Minor, the child from William Benton Fagg's first marriage, lived to nearly 14 years of age, but passed away from an unknown cause in July 1889. He was buried at Colby-Morley.

This second child of William and Harriet, Ray, was born in December 1889, just five months after the death of William Minor. However, Ray also passed away at just over one year of age, in January 1891. Ray was buried at the site as William Minor at Colby-Morley, and the marker for the two children shows both of their names.
