Death of a Pioneer.
Mrs. Ailcey Ray, who with her husband came to Oregon in 1853 by ox team from Missouri, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Foren, near Scio, Nov. 4. She was born in Kentucky Nov. 15, 1812, and with her parents moved to Missouri, thence crossing the plains and locating seven miles southeast of Scio. She was the oldest of a family of twenty-six children, 18 boys and 8 girls, and the mother of 19 children, of whom only 3 are now living. She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and a devoted Christian.

The Albany Democrat, December 18, 1903:
Barney Prine Went Home.
From the Weston Leader:
Barney Prine was in town again this week on his return to Lapwai, Idaho, where he has a prosperous blacksmith business, from a visit to his mother near Albany. She is 92 years old, and came to Oregon in 1853. Barney, at that time a stripling of 12, drove four yoke of oxen across the plains. He afterward became the founder of Prineville, served in the Oregon regiment during the Civil war and is now one of the best known pioneers of the state. His years sit lightly upon him, and he is almost as strong as in the early days when he made the record for a mile run at Salem.
*********************************************************
Married Francis Prine on February 8, 1827 in Jackson Co., Missouri.
Married a Mr. Hawker (or Hocker) sometime between 1843 and 1850.
Married William Evermont Ray on February 20, 1850 in Jackson Co., Missouri.
