VanDUSEN Ray
Wellsboro Agitator – January 8, 1902
Death of Ray VanDusen.
The Christmas holidays, to many a season of rejoicing and pleasure, brought first a cruel anxiety and then a heavy affliction to Deputy Sheriff Fred VanDusen and his wife. Their oldest son, Ray, aged 16 a beloved, affectionate boy, was seized with pneumonia the day before Christmas Day, at his birthplace, the home of his grandmother, Mrs. Emma VanDusen, in Farmington, and he died early on the morning of New Year's day.  The day before Ray was taken ill he set out in high spirits from here with his brother, Carlton, aged 10, to spend the holidays at their grandmother's, but anticipated pleasures were never realized. Instead, the boy's parents were soon summoned to his bedside and his life was finally yielded up to its Giver.  Ray was a good boy. He was dutiful towards his parents; he was kind, considerate and helpful to his brother Carlton;  his four year old brother, Clifford, and his baby cousin, the Sheriff's son, and his death causes much grief in Sheriff VanDusen's household, of which he, his parents .and brothers were members. He had lived in Wellsboro only a year, but had made many friends here.   He had attended our borough school and bad gained the esteem of teachers and fellow students alike.  Ray's largely attended funeral was held from the Pleasant Valley church in Farmington early Friday afternoon, Rev. L. A. Davis, the Methodist pastor in Nelson, officiating.  Burial in the VanDusen family plot in the Peters cemetery in Farmington. The church, which was decorated elaborately and beautifully, was filled with people intent upon paying the last tribute of affection to the amiable lad. Six boys of his own age, residents in the community where be had been bred, acted as pallbearers.  They were Ray's cousins, Harry, Burr and Joseph VanDusen and George and John Northrop and Frank Starr.  Prominent among the decorations at the funeral was a handsome floral tribute from Hay's fellow pupils here, the students in tbe Junior Grammar department, taught by Miss Nannie E. Johnson, and another beautiful floral offering from the clans in the Methodist Sunday school here of which Ray was a member. The pupils of his grade in the day school here were, during the time his funeral was in progress, dismissed from study out of respect to his memory.
