Mrs. Margaret A. Murray passed away Wednesday at the Mason House, where she had been for a month past under treatment. Deceased was a native of Vermont and was aged 69 years, 3 months and 9 days. She was married twenty-seven years ago to Clark Murray, who died at their home in Reynolds, Nebraska two years ago. Their only surviving child is George, twenty-five years old, who has been his mother’s comfort and support in her widowed loneliness. A daughter, Addie, who died at the age of fourteen, when they resided in that neighborhood, is resting in Rorabaugh cemetery in Mound Prairie township. Mrs. E. A. Myhill and Mrs. M. J. Croft, of this place, are the surviving sisters of deceased and the latter accompanied the remains, starting this morning for Reynolds, where they will be interred beside those of her husband, her son having expressed a wish that this should be done. Mrs. Myhill and Mrs. Croft feel most grateful to friends who ministered to the comfort of their sister in her last hours and with expressions of tenderest sympathy sought to lessen their load of grief imposed in her loss.
