WILLIAM BRAY, M. D., who is successfully engaged in the practice of medicine in Dubuque, claims Ohio as the state of his nativity, his birth having occurred in Rushsylvania, Logan County, on the 24th of February 1859. He is the younger of two living children whose parents were James D. and Mary (Laughlin) Bray. The father was a farmer by occupation and with his family located in Logan County. Mr. Bray removed with his family to Washington, Iowa, and lived there till his death, which occurred September 27, 1885. The widow is still living on the old homestead in Washington, Iowa.

The Doctor passed the first eight years of his life in the county of his nativity and then accompanied his parents on their removal to Washington, Washington County, Iowa, where he attended the public schools until seventeen years of age. He then entered Washington Academy, where he pursued his studies for three years. During the succeeding four years of his life he engaged in farming. He did not desiring to always carry on agricultural pursuits he determined to fit himself for some other life work and began reading medicine with Dr. T. G. Roberts, of Washington, under whose direction lie pursued his studies for four years. During this time he entered the medical department of the State University in Iowa City, from which he was graduated in March, 1886.

Soon afterward Dr. Bray took up his residence in Dubuque, opened an office and has since engaged in general practice. He formed a partnership with his brother, Dr. N. Bray, and this connection was continued for three years, or until 1890, since which time Dr. Bray has been alone in business. He now has a well appointed office at No. 864 Locust Street, and is doing a good business, receiving from the public a liberal patronage, which he well deserves. He is a member of the Homeopathic Medical Association of Iowa, also of the Key City Medical Association, of which he served as Vice President. He also served as Health Officer of Dubuque for one year.

On the 10th of September 1891, the Doctor was united in marriage with Miss Margaret Aster, of Rock Island, Ill., daughter of John Aster of that city. Their union has been blessed with one daughter, Marie J. The Doctor and his wife have many friends in this community and their many excellencies of character have gained them the high regard of all who know them, in politics he is a Democrat.
