Ray H. Spring moved to Chicago with his parents in 1893, when he was five years old. He was educated at the preparatory Academy of the Armour Institute of Technology, where he graduated with highest honors in 1907.

Soon after his grandparents (and two of his aunts) died in the Iroquois Street Theatre fire, Ray's parents separated. In November of 1905, his father remarried; his mother did so the following year. After 1907, Ray and his mother (along with his stepfather) moved to land which had belonged to her father outside of Texarkana, Arkansas. There Ray cleared the land, built them a home, and settled into farming, while his mother taught in a one-room schoolhouse. In the summer of 1913, Ray joined his father in Cincinnati, where he found work as a draftsman and structural engineer at Alvey-Furgeson Co. He later worked as a draftsman at Stacey Manufacturing Co., which manufactured gas-storage tanks.

Ray H. Spring lived at 312 Probasco Ave. in Cincinnati at the time of his death. He died of a "coronary inclusion, with arteriosclerotic heart disease," on March 12, 1951.
