Obit: Porter, Raymond A. "Ray" of Springhill; Harrigan_ related to Pa

Although his wife isn't mentioned (divorce? / separation?), there's enough
duplicate info in both obits below to place his wife / ex-wife as Pearl
Pettigrew, believed to be d/o Joseph Alonzo Pettigrew and Elizabeth Smith
Barrett.
