 Chapter 26: Ray Lyman Wilbur
The Wilbur antecedents in America were of English origin and among the earliest settlers in New England in the mid-1600s.
Ray's father soon found that there was not enough law business in the small Iowa community to interest him, so he turned to the opening of coal mines.
Such was the Wilbur experience and we may reasonably conclude that the supportive environment of Ray's extended family during his formative years fostered in him those qualities of sound judgment, integrity and leadership for which he later became well-known and highly respected.
