John B. Murray

 The death of General John B. Murray will
be learned with profound regret by hundreds
of Central and Western New York. A gal-
lant soldier, an able lawyer, a faithful official,
a good citizen--he had in all these capacities
made for himself a splendid name throughout
all the sections. Frank, courageous and
courteous, his fellow-citizens knew
where to find him upon every public
question, but they respected him as one who
preserved the amenities even where his dif-
ferences with them were most pronounced.
Fulfilling conscientiously all the duties of life,
he has left behind him a fragrant and an en-
during memory. He was stricken unto death
at the moment he was ardently advocating
the political principles in which he believed
and for which he had contended on the field
of battle and in the civic arena. He died as
he would have wished to die, testifying in his
latest utterances to the faith which he held.
Peace to his ashes.
