General Notes: Husband - Robert T. McMurray

---

He remained at the old home in Knox township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, until fourteen years of age, attending the local schools. He then left the parental roof, and found employment in the woods at hauling timber. In 1866 he went to Missouri with an uncle, Mr. Bell, but returned three months later, and for some time worked at any employment that he could find. He married and purchased a partially-improved farm of 160 acres in Gulich township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, which was known as the Robert Hegarty property. He finished clearing the place, made further improvements, and after a residence of about ten years sold it, in June, 1885, and bought the Davidson property in Ramey borough. That home he occupied four years, and then built an elegant modern house, 49 x 47 feet, fitted with bathroom, hot and cold water pipes, also with all the latest conveniences, and had it heated by a hot-water system. It was one of the finest homes in the vicinity. Mr. McMurray also owned five tenement houses in Ramey, with other valuable property, and in 1891 he purchased 600 acres of timber land in Garrett County, Maryland, to which he gave attention. For some years he was engaged in mercantile business at Ramey, conducting a grocery from 1883 to 1885, and then a general store until 1894, when his establishment was destroyed by fire.
Politically he was a Republican, and he held various official positions, serving as school director, overseer of the poor, supervisor, street commissioner, and as a member of the borough council. In religious faith he was a Methodist.
