General Notes: Wife - Margaret Goldthorp
She was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and was a young girl when her parents moved to Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Here she was reared to maturity, receiving her schooling in the city of Pittsburg. With a brother Horatio she inherited a tract of fifty-five acres of land, and upon the latter's death in 1900 she became sole owner of the property. It was a farm in a high state of cultivation and was underlaid with three veins of coal, which had not been mined. The house in which she resided was erected by Rev. Mr. Black, and by him was sold to Mr. Hutchison, from whom the Goldthorps obtained it. Mrs. McMurray also owned a valuable property of sixty-two acres in Scott Township, Allegheny County, lying about midway between Carnegie and Mt. Lebanon, and this she disposed of to a corporation to good advantage. She displayed excellent business judgment in the handling of her affairs, and had the good-will and esteem of her fellow citizens. In August, 1905, she went abroad, visiting in London, Leeds, Oxford, Birmingham and Manchester, in England, and also in Scotland, Ireland and France. Just before her return to America, she paid a visit to the historic old battleground at Waterloo. She was a broad-minded and intelligent woman and took a deep interest in the affairs of the day. In religious affiliation, she attended the United Presbyterian church at North Hope.
