On Saturday evening of last
week, after an Mr 03S of 0 very
few days, Mrs, William Murray
passed to "Ooe Lang Home!, le
her death, Clinton has lost itseid-
est resident aro. ore of its most
honored pioneers. Dlrs. Murray
whose maiden name was Mary Mac
Taggart, was born in 1821, at Mac-
hrahanish, near Camp helton'n, Ar-
gylleshire, Scotland. When isle
was ten years of,age the resells'
came out to Camara ard Giettied
near Woodstock Then at the care
age of eighteens" title was married
and twelve years afterwards she
and her husband 7mme to Clinton'
--Rattenbury's Corners, it was then
called. The silage consisted of an
inn and three houses
In the early history , of our
town. Ml's. Murray was a prorcin-
ent figure. She was a teacher in
the first Sunday -School organ-
ized in Clinton. This Sunday
School was .non-de'nominationail
Later Mr.and ti
tad Mrs, Murray we••e
among those members of the Pres
byterian Church who banded to
gether to form a congregation here
Mrs. Murray was for years the
only one remaining sof those who
signed the call 'to Dr, 'MacDonald
the first pastor of Willis 'Church
For some time her advancing years,.
prevented her from attending the
services but she alwarys pre-
served her great interest in ' ,and
dr
ep love for, the church of which
she waste/ charter ancmher.
Had Mrs. Murray lived until the
29th of March she would have com-
pleted her 94th y ear. In spite ` of
this great rage she was in poses-
sion of all her, futilities. She was a
great Mader and took an intelli-
gent interest in all the gstesttonsof
the slay.
The fur,et•aL took place on Tues-
day afternoon, Rev. Dr. Stewart,
