Five years ago there lived in the city
of Oswego, n. Y. a happy family of
position, well known in New York and
Philadelphia The head of it, Hon.
Hamilton Murray, held several high
positions of trust and honor. He was
called away, and five years ago he died.
Not long after his death, his eldest son,
who graduated at our own university
in this city, with honors, was accident.
ly drowned soon after he received his
diploma. Not long after, the eldest
daughter, a lovely girl, sunk under the
wasting destroyer, consumption, and
was laid by iather and brother. This
triple grief was too much for the heart
wife and mother, and she went to join
them in the happy land. But in going
she had to leave her three youngest
two sons and daughter. Calling to
her side her lifelong bosom friend,
Mrs. G. A. Plat, she. confided to her
care these three, enjoining upon her
never to leave them until they had
embarked in life, and requesting her
to accompany them to- Europe and
superintend their education. These
three went down together, and now the
Murray family, all save one, the young
est, Charles, now at Princeton College,
are reunited in their eternal home
with their friend, Mrs. Platt, who was

Catherine A. Platt, was the widow oi
William Piatt, son of sHon. James
Platt, of Oswego. She leaves one son,
James, in business in New York. II
lever there Was an earnest worker in
charity and love, Mrs. Piatt WAS one
sincere Christian, devoted mother,
never telling friend. She has gone to
meet her reward.
