Margaret C. Murray was born November 7, 1835, in Berlin, N. Y., and died at Bridgewater, N. Y., January 15, 1917, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. I. E. Stevens.
Mrs. Murray was the daughter of Schuyler and Phoebe Greenman. In 1853, she married Hiram D. Hull in Berlin. He died in 1875. To them were born four children: Mrs. Addie A. Clarke; Mrs. Minnie P. Stevens, of Bridgewater; Daniel H. Hull, of Milton Junction, Wis.; and Edward W. Hull, of Cropseyville, N. Y., all of whom are now living except Mrs. Clarke.
Mrs. Murray was ever a true home-maker and a genial, helpful, Christian woman, whose cheery life endeared her to all. She joined the Berlin Seventh Day Baptist Church in December, 1852, and remained a loyal, consistent member until her death. Although absent from her home church, she was a member of the home class department of the Berlin Sabbath School and the superintendent of the department was always pleased with the good report which she always sent in. In 1888, when she married Mr. J. B. Murray, of West Winfield, she joined him in the work of the regular Baptist church, in which he was for many years a deacon. After his death, in 1906, she went to live with her daughter, Mrs. Stevens.
Brief services were held, both at Bridgewater on January 17 and at Berlin on January 18. Interment was made in the Berlin Seventh Day Baptist Cemetery. Two sisters, Mrs. Mary S. Hull and Mrs. E. R. Greene, both of Berlin, three children, twelve grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren survive her.
