General Notes: Husband - John H. Murray


He was born in Buffalo township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and at the common schools of the neighborhood received his education, which, as he had to apply himself to work on the farm in early boyhood, was of necessity very limited. In 1849 he went west, and for two years followed agricultural pursuits in Illinois, and worked as a farmer and carpenter part of the time in Pennsylvania and the balance of the time in Illinois. In 1862 he enlisted in Company C, 22nd P. V. C., and participated in several engagements. In January following his enlistment, he was taken sick, for fifteen months was confined in hospital, and after his discharge as a convalescent he cooked for the officers' mess, one year. At the close of his term of service, June 1, 1865, he was mustered out with his company, and he then returned to Washington County, taking up his temporary residence in Buffalo township. Soon afterward he commenced a butcher business in Claysville, which he carried on one year, and then, in 1871, removed to Washington and opened a meat market on Wheeling street, which in 1874 he moved to Main street, and in 1886 to North Main street.
