General Notes: Husband - John Murray

---

He came to Hummelstown, Pennsylvania, in 1855 and lived with his grandfather Baum until he was sixteen years of age, when he went to Lebanon to learn the harness maker's trade with his uncle. In 1861 he enlisted in Company A, Ninety-third regiment, Pennsylvania volunteers, as a private, and was with the Army of the Potomac in the Peninsular campaign, participating in all the battles. He was wounded at Richmond, and as a result was disabled and discharged from the service in 1863, after which he returned to Lebanon, and resumed work at his trade. In 1864 he moved to Hummelstown and opened a harness shop, which he conducted a short time. He then removed to Derry township, where for four years he was engaged in farming. In 1871 he returned to Hummelstown and opened a store, which he then conducted for more than twenty years. He was also a stockholder in the Farmers' Bank. Mr. Murray was a member of the P. O. S. of A., and of the James Henderson Post, No. 443, G. A. R., of which he was also the commander, and was one of the organizers in 1891. In politics he was a Republican, and served as burgess and as a member of the borough council.
He was a member of the Lutheran church, and his wife was a member of the United Brethren church.
