- Murray
Louis Edwin Murray was born in Page County, Iowa, November 28, 1865, and died June 14, 1922, at the age of 56 years, 7 months and 16 days.
He was united in marriage with Miss Marie McKeown, February 12, 1889. They came to Boone County, Nebraska, in 1889, and made their home here ever since, except the years 1894 and 1895, when he was out in Oklahoma, looking for land. Since then he had bought and improved a beautiful home northwest of Albion, where he specialized in hog-raising, and general farming.
He had suffered for years with stomach and kidney trouble, and became worse during the past winter. He became seriously ill about the 1st of April, of this year, but bore his sufferings with patience and Christian fortitude.
Finally, becoming alarmed about his condition, he took a trip to Rochester, Minn. To consult the Mayo Bros. but it was too late and he returned home to await the final summons, which came swiftly in spite of all that a devoted wife and family and two nurses could do.
He became converted during his illness, and while in Rochester he was baptized by Dr. Leonard of the M.E. Church of that city, on May 21.
He wished to live to show a changed life, but God took him to Himself on June 14, about 6:30 in the evening.
He leaves to mourn his loss a wife, four children, one little granddaughter, his aged mother and two sisters.
The funeral services for L.E. Murray were conducted from the family residence, Friday, June 16, at 2:30 p.m. Rev. Main having charge.
There was a large gathering of friends and neighbors, and the beautiful flowers and long line of cars, gave proof of the respect and regard in which the departed was held.
The Albion Argus, Albion, Nebraska. Thursday, 22 June 1922.
