           [416]

           PETER MURRAY, farmer, section 2, Bingham Township, was born in
        County Longford, Ireland, in 1824. His parents died in their
        native land previous to his emigration to the Dominion of Canada,
        in 1852. He located in Middlesex Co., Ont, and was a resident there
        until his removal to Michigan in May, 1873, when he purchased 80
        acres of land, now constituting his homestead. The property was in
        a wholly wild and primitive condition, and one-half is now under
        fine and profitable cultivation, with a handsome residence and
        excellent accessory farm buildings.
           MR. MURRAY is independent in political opinion and connections.
           He was married in 1854, in Middlesex Co., Ont., to MARY NOONAN,
        and they have been the parents of 12 children. Of these, one son
        and six daughters have gone to the land of silent mystery, whither
        the sorrowing mother journeyed to join her little ones in 1869,
        when she was 39 years of age. MR. MURRAY was again married in 1871,
        in Ontario, to ANNA McDONALD. Two children born of the second mar-
        riage are deceased. Five children of the former union are living,
        and were born as follows: MARY A., THOMAS, PETER, MICHAEL and
        CATHERINE.  MRS. MURRAY was born in the State of New York, of Irish
        parentage. The family are Roman Catholics.
