 | Bracken, Caroline Kendall (1830 - 1882); date unknown This was originally identified by Corinne McRaven Moore as Deborah Ruth Bracken McRaven. However, this painting is a copy of a cabinet card photograph. Someone has written across the top of the cabinet card "Grandma Bracken" which leads me to believe that this is actually Deborah's mother, Caroline Kendall Bracken. The cabinet card was in the possession of Vernon Lacey in 1994. The painting is in the possession of Jamie Burnett. |

Death of Mrs. McRaven.
Mrs. Deborah Ruth McRaven, wife of Dr. P. H. McRaven, of Wheatland, died last week Wednesday and was buried Thursday.
We received the announcement of her death last Thursday after we had gone to press.
Mrs. McRaven had been ill for some six or eight weeks with something like dysentery. On the 10th day of August she gave birth to a little daughter. From that time forward she was much worse, the disease assuming the form of enteritis with complications involving the liver. She died from exhaustion.
Mrs. McRaven was born at Thebes in this county Sept. 16th, 1857, and was consequently in her 36th year. She was the daughter of William Bracken, one of the old pioneers of the county. He was a minister of the gospel and strongly attached to the Baptist church.
Deborah Ruth Bracken married Dr. P. H. McRaven March 30th 1879. She leaves her husband and four small children, the youngest only thirteen days old at the time of its mother’s death.
For the doctor and the little one it is a sad bereavement and they will receive the sincere sympathy of friends everywhere.
