General Notes: Husband - Harry Eugene McMurray


He attended the public schools of his birthplace, including the high school, and later, 1917, pursued courses in linotype instruction with the Mergenthaler Linotype Company. Already he had been working in the printing shop for nine years although he had only reached his majority when he improved on his ability to set type by doing it on a remarkable machine. In other words he began to learn an exacting business and profession at the age of twelve. During all this period, possibly the most remarkable in the development of the United States and its smallest units, Mr. McMur­ray has remained with just one journal, “The Jeffersonian Democrat,” recording the rapidly changing progress, and was able to write of it, “All this I saw; of some of it I was a part.” He was, politically, a Democrat and active in offices and councils of his party in Jefferson County. A Mason, he was fraternally affiliated with Hobah Lodge, No. 276, Free and Accepted Masons. He was Worshipful Master of Hobah Lodge, in 1936. His religious affiliation was with the First Presbyterian Church of Brookville.
