JOHN MURRAY, junior member of the firm of Murray Brothers, French Gulch Meat
Market, was born in French Gulch, California, November 9, 1866. He is the son of
Timothy and Catherine Murray, natives of County Cork, Ireland, who came to this
country in 1852, and to California in 1856. Mr. Murray was reared and educated
in his native place. In April, 1890, he was united in marriage to Miss Mary
Hooper, also a native of French Gulch.

  The firm of Murray Brothers is doing a successful business. They keep on hand
a supply of choice meat, and make every effort to please their customers. T. F.
takes charge of the indoor part of the business while John does the outside
work. Both are trusty and enterprising business men. In politics they affiliate
with the Democratic party. They are members of the Native Sons of the Golden
West, and the subject of this sketch is Treasurer of Highland Parlor, No. 133.
