My Great Aunt Ruby Ray (Blackhurst) went to leave with her Aunt Rosa Ray Crawford, her father's sister, after her mother died in July 1919 (buried in Camden, Arkansas).  The family - Ruby, her brothers Lew and Elmer and parents Mary Maggie Nance Ray and James Buchanan Ray lived in Oak Level, Kentucky until about 1917 - 18 when they moved to Ouachita County, Arkansas.  Maggie's brother Leonduis Nance had also relocated there for a time.

After his wife died Great  Grandpa James Buchanan Ray (July 31, 1856 - June 1922) moved to Texas - according to family stories.  But I can't find him.
