Quotes from the Salvation Army article at the Murray's diamond wedding: (see photo for full transcript)

"They were both Salvationists before they married and have remained to this day. The Bandmaster, even at the advanced age of eighty regularly attends the Sunday morning and evening meetings and is often accompanied by his wife."

"The Bandmaster was first attracted to his wife when she volunteered to play the drum on the march in Doncaster when they went from Mexborough to hold some Meetings, during a rough period for the Salvationists."
