Out,
In 1896 Mr. Murray located in Bentley
township, purchasing 80 acres of wild land which he afterwards cleared and
improved. Here he resided until his death, enjoying the successes, and meeting
the failures, incident to pioneer life, with the same irrespressible sense of
wit and good humor that characterized him through out his life.
Three years ago he became afflicted with
Bright's disease. Though his sufferings were sometimes intense, he never
complained nor gave up hope. A few weeks ago his condition became grave. His
children were called home and surrounded by loving relatives and solicitous
friends he peacefully awaited the end which came at 3:30 p.m., April 28.
The funeral held at the house April 30, at 2
p.m., conducted by Rev. Henry Anderson was largely attended. As a token of
respect to Mr. Murray as a member of the school board the school children and
others gathered trailing arbutus which Mrs. David Stone wove into a beautiful
wreath and placed upon the casket. The body was laid to rest in the cemetery
north of Estey.
"All was ended now, the hope and the
fear and the sorrow; all the aching of heart the restless, unsatisfied longing,
all the dull, deep pain, and constant anguish of patience."
"What is it that sometimes speaks to
the soul so calmly, so clearly that its earthly time is short? Is it the secret
instinct of decaying nature, or the soul's impulsive throb as immortality draws
on? Be what it may it fest on the heart - a calm, sweet, prophetic certainty
that heaven is near - calm as the light of sunset, sweet as the bright
stillness of autumn. Here let his heart repose troubled not by the sarrow of
those who loved him so dearly." Gladwin County Record dated 05-08/1913

berries along a ditch near the house went there to look for him, finding the
body in a badly decomposed state. Suspicion that it might be a case of murder
led to notification of Sheriff Shell, who with Prosecuting Attorney Shaffer,
Coroner M. H. Wright and Will Stock went there by auto to investigate. A
coroner's jury was summoned who returned the following verdict, pronouncing it
a case of heart failure. State of Michigan, county of Gladwin, ss.--We, the
