JOHN MURRAY V.B. m. Mar. 11, 1869, at Berlin Heights, O., Mary E. Lawrence, b. May 14, 1851, in Florence, O., dau. of Amos Lawrence (b. in 1812 in N.H.) and Deborah M. Bartlett (b. in 1810 in Vt.). His parents named him after the Universalist divine. He is a natural mechanic, can turn his hand either to building houses or making furniture. For years he has been a merchant, first at Battle Creek and then at Ludington, Mich. He, too, is a "Walton" and is quite as much at home in the famous fishing-grounds of northern Michigan near his home as was ever his grandfather in the Huron waters. In his keeping is the Revolutionary musket of his great-grandfather Aaron.
