Mrs. Murray has been confined to the house for more than nine months, she suffered a great deal but was able to smile through it all and looked forward with a great deal of satisfaction to meeting her friends and relatives in the other world. She was conscious until the last moment of her life, and stated a goodbye to her husband with almost her last breath. She died Monday afternoon, December 5, 1921. She will be missed in her home and in the neighborhood in which her entire life has been spent.
The funeral was held from the late home Wednesday, December 7, conducted by the pastor of the Kniffin church.
