General Notes: Husband - John A. McMurray

---

He received a common-school education in Knox township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania.
He married and they resided on a farm near Beulah; they had twelve children, ten were still living in 1898.

In 1871 he purchased 160 acres of land in Bigler township, Clearfield County, known as the Joseph Hegarty homestead. This was partially improved, with about forty acres cleared. Mr. McMurray then cleared sixty acres, and, in 1881, he sold the sixty acres with the old improvements, retaining the portion of the estate which lay nearest the borough of Ramey. He made many improvements thereon, building a barn and a large two-story residence. In 1891 he engaged in mercantile business in Bigler township, but sold out three years later.
He and his wife were members of the Baptist Church.
Politically he was always identified with the Democratic party.
