John Murray was born In Coshoctor

parted this life January Is, 1912, aged

Soon after the close Of the war he
came to Iowa, where he was united

To this union were born four daugh-
ters.
More than thirty years ago he was
converted and united with the M. E.

held an official position in that
church and was very active member
as long as his health permitted.
Two years ago, on removing from
his old home at Bladensburg. he be-
came a member of the First M. E.
church, Ottumwa, Iowa.
He was a resident of Wapello coun-
ty for more than 50 years and took an
active interest in all public affairs.
Mr.. Murray was a true Christian, h
good citizen, and held the respect and
confidence of all with whom he came
in contact.
He was dearly beloved husband
and father and is survived by his wife

we know he is at rest with his heav.

OF either of the women who were
sending him this urgent call from the
unknown. He concluded 1t was a plot

trapped he could not imagine. for II
he had few friends in the city he had
