Sudden Death of Dr. S. A. Murray

Beloved Phhysician amd Prominent Marion County Citizen Dies at His Home in 
Tazewell Thursday Night Last Week

The death of no man, perhaps, could bring to the town of Tazewell, in Marion 
County, and neighboring towns and communities more geniuine sorrow than taht 
of Dr. Stephens A. Murray, which came unexpectedly at his home at Tazewell 
about 2 o'clock Friday morning, December 2nd, his death being due to heart 
failure. He retired in his usual health Thursday night, it is said, but 
shortly after midnight his wife was awakened by his struggles, and before 
medical aid could be secured life was extinct.
Born and reared in Schley county, Dr. Murray moved to Tazewell soon after 
graduating in medicine to begin the practice of his profession. He soon built 
up a large practice in neighboring communities, and made many warm friends who 
clung to him through life. He was full of energy and possessed ability of a 
high order.
In early young manhood, Dr. Murray wooed and won the heart and hand of Miss 
Ollie Edwards, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. M. R. Edwards of Tazewell, and one of 
Marion county's most charming young women, and who survives him. Dr. W. W. 
Edwards and Dr. J. W. Edwards of Butler are his brothers-in-law. No brothers 
were ever more devoted to each other than these. The tie that bound them was 
very close, and in the passing of Dr. Murray, they have the sympathy of the 
people of this community as does his devoted wife, who geels her loneliness 
most keenly.
Mr. Murray was 71 years of age. His character was marked by sterling 
integrity, honesty, faithfulness in duty to his chosen profession and high 
moral conduct. He enjoyed the confience and esteem of his associates and all 
with whom he had dealings. Probably no citizen of Marion and adjoining 
counties had a larger circle of friends.
Mr. Murray gave hi ssupport to numerous enterprises, and at all times was a 
staunch supporter of the things he believed to be right. He was especially 
active in his church amd fraternal connections. He was a member of the 
Mrthodist church and of K. of P. Lodge. In both he displayed traits of 
character that many might well emulate.
